That depends what the monomer is. Most unsaturated monomers are manufactured commercially from crude oil. Ethene, for instance, is made by cracking the gas oil fraction of crude oil. Vinyl chloride is then made from ethene. Styrene is made from benzene and ethene.
Unsaturated lipids will contain a number of double bonds. If a carbon is double bonded to one hydrogen, it's valence electrons are satisfied. So instead of holding on to two hydrogens, it has just one. These double bonds cause "unsaturation".
a monomer Polymers are composed of monomers.
That would be a monomer.
A monomer is a small molecule that can chemically bond with other monomers to form a polymer. In polymer chemistry, monomers are the building blocks that contribute to the structure and properties of the resulting polymer.
Oxygen is an element and does not have a monomer. It exists as O2 molecules in its diatomic form in nature.

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.
No. Lipid molecules that are unsaturated have less hydrogen atoms because of carbon-carbon double bonds.
No, saturated fat is not a monomer of a lipid. Monomers of lipids are fatty acids, which can be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fats consist of long chains of saturated fatty acids.
If starch is the polymer, then the monomer is glucose, which is a monosaccharide. Starch is a polysaccharide that is made up of glucose molecules.
There are no synonyms for a monomer, it can combine with other molecules to form a polymer, but even polymer is not synonymous...
