Which best explains the difference between a monomer and a polymer?
Wiki User
∙ 8y ago
A monomer is a single structure and has low moleculer weight, while a polymer consists of several monomers and appears like plastic such as shellac and varnish.A polymer has higher molecular weight. Polymers don't always look like plastic--wood and cotton are both polymers. Rubber is also a polymer.

What is the monomer of the polymer starch?
If starch is the polymer, then the monomer is glucose, which is a monosaccharide. Starch is a polysaccharide that is made up of glucose molecules.
