Detailed explanation-1: -Polymers are macromolecules formed by the combination of many monomers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biological Polymers Macromolecules are large, complex, biological molecules and most of them are polymers. Monomers link up in a specific order during a process called polymerization. This allows them to create biological polymers like starches and complex sugars.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most macromolecules are made from single subunits, or building blocks, called monomers. The monomers combine with each other using covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. In doing so, monomers release water molecules as byproducts.
Detailed explanation-4: -Polyethylene is the simplest synthetic polymer. It’s made up of just one kind of monomer-ethylene, which is made of two carbon atoms and two hydrogen atoms. (Other polymers can be made of two or more different monomers.) Polyethylene is formed when many thousands of ethylene molecules are joined end to end.
