What is the monomer of glucose?

Glucose itself is a monomer of both sugar and starch. A monomer is a component of a polymer; in other words, many monomers come together to form a polymer. In the glucose example, many glucose molecules can come together to form complex carbohydrates- the polymer of glucose. Source: AP Biology

What are the monomers and polymers of organic compound?

Monomers are small molecules that can join together to form polymers through chemical reactions called polymerization. In organic compounds, monomers typically include molecules such as amino acids, nucleotides, and monosaccharides. Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units of these monomers, such as proteins, DNA, and carbohydrates.


What is the monomer unit of cellulose?

It depends on the type of plastic. Different plastics have different monomer units. PVC- Poly Vinyl Chloride has Vinyl Chloride CH2=CHCl as the monomer unit. Polyethylene has ethylene (ethene) CH2=CH2 as the monomer unit. There are many others.
