Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is a monomer?
A
Many molecules linked together
B
A large complex polymer
C
A single molecule
D
A macromolecule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monomer is defined as a simple molecule with two or more binding sites through which it forms covalent linkages with other monomer molecules to form the macromolecule. Monomers are thus building blocks of polymers.

Detailed explanation-2: -monomer, a molecule of any of a class of compounds, mostly organic, that can react with other molecules to form very large molecules, or polymers. The essential feature of a monomer is polyfunctionality, the capacity to form chemical bonds to at least two other monomer molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simple Sugar Monomers. Simple sugars are monomers called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules. These monomers can form long chains that make up polymers known as carbohydrates, the energy-storing molecules found in food.

Detailed explanation-4: -Polymers are made up of many many molecules all strung together to form really long chains (and sometimes more complicated structures, too). What makes polymers so fun is that how they act depends on what kinds of molecules they’re made up of and how they’re put together.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monomers and polymers Most large biological molecules are polymers, long chains made up of repeating molecular subunits, or building blocks, called monomers.
