Yes, it is {a trick Question}. Chemically, it does not form chains nor is it involved with chain formation; yet Biochemically it, and it's dozens of derivatives, are so fully involved with Cellular metabolism that "monomer" does not describe its many activities.

The Macromolecule of Cholesterol is Lipids. According to Wikipedia, Lipids originate entirely or in part from two distinct types of biochemical subunits: ketoacyl and ispoprene groups.

So I believe the answer would be Isoprene.

Cholesterol react with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid to get cholesterol (meth)acrylate.

Is cholesterol a monomer or polymer?

Cholesterol is a big molecule, C27H46O. However, it is a single molecule, and thus a monomer. In cells cholesterol is normally embedded in cell membrane and makes hydrogen bonds with surrounding molecules. In the blood, it is also not found alone, but packaged with lipids (triglycerides) and lipoproteins. Thus when looking at cholesterol levels in the blood, people often refer to HDLs and LDLs. The proteins in HDLs and LDLs are also discrete units with a specific structure, but they are considered to be polymers of amino acids.
