Want this question answered?
peptide bonds chain together the monomers of a protein (ergo called polypeptides).
A chain of monomers is called a polymer, if it is sufficiently long. (We'd probably say something like trimer if there were only three.) Polymers can be formed by electrophilic addition, for instance polythene, or condensation, for instance a protein.
Monomers come together to form polymers through dehydration condensation and polymers split apart from monomers through hydrolysis.
The monomers in proteins are called macromolecule. Monomers are bonded together by chemicals.
Two different monomers joined together will form a copolymer.
polymers
amino acids
That's called polymerization.

Monomers joined together make a polymer.
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. When you link a bunch of maltose together then they form a polysaccharide polymer of sugars. Glycogen is an example of a polymer of sugars. Glycogen is the body method of sugar storage in your liver and muscle tissue....
When you put 2 monomers together, you get a polymer. This reaction is called Polymerization.
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.
Monomers hook up to form polymers. There is a link below that will lead you to the Wikipedia post on polymers.Water is also produced, this is a condensation reaction.

Two monomers join together to form a polymer. Also two oligomers can join together and form a polymer.
