Detailed explanation-1: -A polymer is made up of a number of joined-together monomers. One way of thinking about polymers is like a chain of connected-up paperclips. A polymer is a large molecule made up of smaller, joined-together molecules called monomers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biomacromolecules are large biological polymers, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates, that are made up of monomers linked together.
Detailed explanation-3: -Monomers are the smaller units from which larger molecules are made. Polymers are molecules made from a large number of monomers joined together.
Detailed explanation-4: -True or False: Polymers are made of monomers, and both are kinds of compounds. True; Formation of a polymer implies that several chemical elements are involved in the monomers, so both monomers and polymers must be compounds.
