monomer
A nucleic acid is a biological polymer (a chain composed of links) made of building blocks (the links) called nucleic acids. The most common nucleic acids are DNA and RNA.
Cross-links usually occur when a polymer molecule is at a larger size. A larger sized molecule is held together by stronger covalent bonds, and henceforth the force between the molecules is stronger. As the force between the molecules gets stronger, more energy is needed to separate them, meaning the melting point increases.
A polymer formed of amino acids is a polypeptide (named from the numerous peptide bonds in the chain; one peptide bond links two amino acids). Two amino acids joined form a dipeptide, hundreds of amino acids form a polypeptide.
The links in the chain are called monomer units and they are made up of amino acids. All together they are a polypeptide chain.
It depends on the length of the chain and the size of the links. A chain as a unit of measure is 66 feet long. Four rods equals one chain. A link is 0.04 rod, or 7.92 inches. There are 100 links in a chain.
The links in a polymer chain are covalent bonded.

The type of molecule that a protein is is a polymer. To be more specific, protein is a polypeptide. Polymers are molecules that consist of repeating subunits. For example, a chain is a polymer of links, and can be considered a "poly-link". Similarly, proteins are repeating chains of peptide subunits, which are in turn made of amino acids.
Monomers are the building blocks that are used to make polymers. Remember: mono = one, poly = many Monomers are like the links in a chain and polymers are like the chain. Many chain links (monomers) make up a whole chain (polymer)
Dehydration synthesis is the name for a reaction that links monomers to form a chain.
