What is the polymer of PVC?
The monomer of Polyvinylchloride (PVC) is vinyl chloride!! which is simply a hydrogen atom replaced by a chlorine atom in ethylene (monomer for polyethylene) i.e CH2=CHCl. Hope this helps.

Connects monomers to form a polymer?
Monomers combine together to form a polymer by the addition of water. The H20 molecule connects to the end of a monomer and is connected to the other monomer by the oxygen atom. This ability allows monomers to join together to form long chains. Hope that helped, good luck!

What is a addition polymersation?
A polymer formed by the chain addition of unsaturated monomer molecules, such as olefins, with one another without the formation of a by-product as water or without the loss of any atom or molecule is called as an Addition Polymer.
Is a polymer bigger then and atom?
yes
What mechanisms does your body use to help convert between monomer and polymer forms of the molecules?
Our body links monomers together to form polymers by a dehydration reaction. The dehydration reaction removes water.More technical: an unlinked monomer has a hydrogen atom (-H) at one end and a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the other. For each monomer added to a chain, a water molecule (H20) is released. One monomer loses a hydroxyl group and the other monomer loses a hydrogen atom to form H2O. As this occurs, a new covalent bond forms, linking the two monomers..The other end of the cycle, breaking polymers down into monomers so they are available for your your cells is called hydrolysis. This is essentially the reverse of the dehydration reaction. Hydrolysis means to break with water.Both the dehydration reaction and hydrolysis require the help of enzymes to make and break bonds.Answer found with help from:Reece, Taylor, Simon, Dickey, ed.
