What are monomers and polymers?

A

Types of cells

B

Building blocks of life

C

Types of chemical reactions

D

Monomers are the individual molecules that join together to form larger molecules called polymers. Polymers consist of repeating units of monomers bonded together through chemical reactions. Monomers and polymers are considered the building blocks of life as they are essential for the formation and structure of biological molecules and organisms. They are not directly related to types of cells, types of chemical reactions, or units of energy production.
