For carbohydrates they are monosaccharides. For proteins,amino acids. For lipids glycerol and fatty acids. For nucleic acids nucleotides.
It is called a monomer. Monomers together form polymer.
Polymer: DNA, Monomer: nucleotides Polymer: Proteins, Monomer: amino acids Polymer: Polysaccharides, Monomer: monosaccharides
There is no antonym for polymer
A polymer is formed when monomers are joined together through chemical bonds. Polymeric macromolecules can have a wide range of functions and properties depending on the specific monomer units and how they are linked. Examples of polymers in nature include proteins, DNA, and carbohydrates.
monomer
polymer
The smallest unit of a polymer is called a monomer. Monomers are the repeating units that link together to form a polymer chain through chemical bonds.
Polymer
A polymer. Polymers are formed from the repetition of monomer units through chemical bonding to create long chains or networks.
Monomer
The reaction described is known as a condensation reaction or dehydration synthesis. In this process, two monomers combine to form a polymer while releasing a water molecule as a byproduct. This type of reaction is common in the formation of various biological macromolecules, such as proteins and carbohydrates.
Lipids do not have monomers and they themselves are the polymer
