Polymer means many monomers. Sometimes polymers are also known as macromolecules or large-sized molecules. Usually, polymers are organic (but not necessarily).
A monomer is a molecule that is able to bond in long chains.
Here is a monomer:
Here is a polymer:
A polymer can be made up of thousands of monomer.
This linking up of monomers is called polymerization
Dehydration Synthesis
C6H12O6 is not a polymer. It is glucose, and is a monomer. If it was strung together with another molecule like fructose, it would become a polymer named sucrose.

polymer
It is a polymer which has special properties such as a memory shape polymer.
Ultraviolet light, as in sunlight, can very slowly degrade PVC and weaken it.
A lipid is both a polymer and monomer. Polymer: Triglyceride Monomers: glycerol and fatty acids
