Detailed explanation-1: -The building blocks that make up polymers are called monomers (MAH-nuh-murs). Thousands or even tens of thousands of monomers connect to form a polymer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Long-chain, very high molecular weight hydrocarbons are the basic building blocks of polymers. The chains either lie together intertwined like a plate of spaghetti strands to create the linear polymers, or are joined at nodes to form three-dimensional networks.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of joining many monomers together to make a polymer is called polymerization.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monomers are the building blocks of the four basic macromolecules of life-monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates, amino acids are the monomers of proteins, glycerol/fatty acids are the monomers of lipids, and nucleotides are the monomers of DNA.
