The monomer of Polysaccharides is monosaccharide. Proteins are made of amino acids, and Nucleic acids are made of nucleotides. Use wikipedia if you want to see how they're structured. I'm assuming that's what you're asking.

Most macromolecules are made up of thousands of smaller molecules called?
Monomers.
The individual molecules that make up polymers are called?
The smaller molecules that make up polymers are called monomers.
Are DNA and RNA molecules considered monomers or polymers?
They are considered polymers. The monomers of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are nucleotides. Each nucleotide has a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base.
Why does a cell need to break down polymers into monomers?
Because macromolecules are large molecules and are insoluble. It is easier to store them and use them when they have been hydrolysed to smaller molecules and are made soluble.
How are the molecules in polymers different from the molecules in other compounds?
A polymer is a long chain of small molecules (monomers).
Polyethylene molecules are made of monomers linked head to tail?
ethene
Most macromolecules are made up of thousands of smaller molecules called?
Monomers.
Why are Nucleic acids proteins and other large biological molecules are known as polymers?
Because they have large collection of monomers and the monomers linked each other by bond.
What is the name of the reactions that join monomers together to form polymers?
The monomers combine with each other via covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers
The individual molecules that make up polymers are called?
The smaller molecules that make up polymers are called monomers.
What to many monomers make up when they are linked together?
monomers are made up of small molecules which join together to make polymers
Are DNA and RNA molecules considered monomers or polymers?
They are considered polymers. The monomers of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are nucleotides. Each nucleotide has a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base.
What attaches monomers to each other?
A polymer can be made up of thousands of monomer.This linking up of monomers is called polymerization
What molecules are polymers built from?
They are built from monomers.
What does polymers mean?
in chemistry the word polymer means a naturally occurring or synthetic compound consisting of large molecules made up of a linked series of repeated simple monomers.
Why does a cell need to break down polymers into monomers?
Because macromolecules are large molecules and are insoluble. It is easier to store them and use them when they have been hydrolysed to smaller molecules and are made soluble.
How are the molecules in polymers different from the molecules of other compounds?
