polysaccharide
a polysaccharide is the polymer of carbohydrates and a polypeptide is the polymer of a lipid.

Not without the addition of other chemical/physical agents. A polymer is a plastic.
This polymer is called polystyrene - (C8H8)n.

No. A biomolecule is many building blocks bonded together to form a polymer. The building blocks of any polymer are called monomers. The monomer of a carbohydrate is a monosaccharide, which forms the polymer polysaccharide.
There is no such thing as "a carbohydrate, or many or few carbohydrates" Carbohydrate does not come in units, like vitamins or calories. It is like saying "Is a blood a polymer?" Same as you would say "Is blood a polymer?" the question is "Is carbohydrate a polymer?"
Glucose. Starch is a polymer made of glucose monomers.
The term for three or more linked subunits is a polymer. The polymer of glucose is starch.Complex carbohydrates. Starch is only one type, cellulose is another.
Glucose.
Monomers are similar identical units covalently bonded to each other to from polymers. The monomer of carbohydrates are monosaccharides. Carbohydrates are polymers so its monomer is a simple sugar called monosaccharide.
Carbohydrates are sugar polymers, digestion breaks the polymer into its monomers, simple sugars like glucose.

Glycogen is made up of glucose monomers. These monomers are combine in alpha-1,4 linkages with alpha 1,6 linkages used to create branches. Glycogen also has a small protein component that is used to initiate the glycogen polymer called glyocgenin.
