monomers are made up of small molecules which join together to make polymers
They make up a polymer.
A polymer. The smaller molecules are called monomers. For example, many glucose molecules (the monomers) linked together make a starch molecule (the polymer). Similarly, many amino acid molecules (the monomers) linked together form a protein molecule (the polymer).

For a Lpid molecule, it contain 1 glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acidmolecules but I do not think a Phospholipid molecule contain any glycerol molecules as they are replaced by the phosphate group.
There is but one monomer of Starch - it is called Glucose. The word/term "saccharides" means sugars. STARCH is a sugar that plants store for future use.
there is alot
It's the monomer, the unit that repeats itself along the 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.
Yes, a biomolecule that is composed of many monomers linked together is called a polymer. Polymers can be composed of various types of monomers, such as amino acids in proteins, nucleotides in nucleic acids, or sugars in carbohydrates. Examples of biomolecules that are polymers include proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and polysaccharides.
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.
No. Amino acid monomers are used to make protein polymers. Nucleotide monomers are used to make DNA polymers.
A macromolecule is a molecule in which there are many atoms linked together. All polymers are macro molecules,but not all macromolecules are not polymers because a polymer is linked with monomers.
A food web.
Monomers are the building blocks that are used to make polymers. Remember: mono = one, poly = many Monomers are like the links in a chain and polymers are like the chain. Many chain links (monomers) make up a whole chain (polymer)
DNA is made of small units called nucleotides. One nucleotide generally contains a phosphate group, a sugar (Deoxyribose), and nitrogen bases (Purines:Adenine, Guanine; and Pyrimidines: Cytosine, and Thymine)
Proteins are polymers of amino acids. Another name for protein is polypeptide. They are made of many (poly = many) amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. (Glycerol and fatty acids are the monomers of lipids)
