No.
Amino acid monomers are used to make protein polymers.
Nucleotide monomers are used to make DNA polymers.
Polymers are many monomers joined together by bonds.
No, you have it exactly backwards.
Mono- means one, poly- means many. Polymers are made up of many monomer units.
Yes
True.
Yes
A polymer (a chemical term) is any material that is made up of repeating linked units (monomers). An example of a polymer is starch. It is made from linked units of Glucose (a sugar). Another example is plastics such as low density polyethylene made from linking repeating ethylene (a gas) units. Maybe a more familar example that is used around the house is when you repair your car with fiberglass. The liquid that is used to bond the fiberglass to the car and itself is styene monomer. When the catalyst is added to the styrene monomomer you are starting a chemical reaction that joins the monomers into very long polymers that cross link and form a hard polymer.
DNA is made of small units called nucleotides. One nucleotide generally contains a phosphate group, a sugar (Deoxyribose), and nitrogen bases (Purines:Adenine, Guanine; and Pyrimidines: Cytosine, and Thymine)
Monomers are single units while polymers are monomers linked together. So with polysaccharides being polymers or monomers linked together, then think of a single monomer of sugar such as maltose.
Proteins are made up of many amino acids. This is analogous to a polymer being made up of many monomers.
A macromolecule is a molecule in which there are many atoms linked together. All polymers are macro molecules,but not all macromolecules are not polymers because a polymer is linked with monomers.
A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as a polymer.
The freezing of ice.

Monomers are the starting units for making Polymers. For eg: Polyethylene is synthesized by addition polymerisation technique to form Polyethylene. Many monomers join together to form a large macromolecule called as polymer.
The monomer is just the subunit that makes up the construction of many units of the polymer. M = monomer M-M-M-M = polymer ( units do not need to be the same )
Definitely a polymer. Protein is made of many monomers of amino acids.
DNA is made of small units called nucleotides. One nucleotide generally contains a phosphate group, a sugar (Deoxyribose), and nitrogen bases (Purines:Adenine, Guanine; and Pyrimidines: Cytosine, and Thymine)

A polymer. The smaller molecules are called monomers. For example, many glucose molecules (the monomers) linked together make a starch molecule (the polymer). Similarly, many amino acid molecules (the monomers) linked together form a protein molecule (the polymer). For more in formation about polymers, starting at the very beginning, see: http://pslc.ws/macrog/kidsmac/wiap.htm
Yes. That is why they are called polymers. The prefix "poly-" means many. A polymer is made from many monomers.
