Want this question answered?
amino acids
an amino acid is a monomer.. it joins together to form a dipeptide.. which joins together to form a polypeptide polypeptide - otherwise known as a polymer
Amino acid. (also its spelt polypeptide)
Typically containing fewer than 50 monomer units.
The monomers in a polypeptide are the amino acids. The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide (or protein) is called the primary structure. It is the primary structure of proteins which is coded for by the DNA in the genes: the sequence of bases in the DNA is a code for the sequence of amino acids in a protein (or polypeptide).

Alpha Glucose is a monomer of starch beta glucose is a monomer of cellulose amino acids are monomers of polypeptide

monomer = amino acidpolymer = polypeptide (= polypeptide chain)A monomer is one unit in a chain of repeating units. Amino acids are assembled in cells into chains called polypeptides.A protein may consist of just one polypeptide, or more than one. For example, human growth hormone has only one chain, but hemoglobin has four.
Amino acid monomers make up a polypeptide chain which folds into it's particular shape, based on amino acid sequences, to make a protein

The links in the chain are called monomer units and they are made up of amino acids. All together they are a polypeptide chain.
