Yes, it is {a trick Question}. Chemically, it does not form chains nor is it involved with chain formation; yet Biochemically it, and it's dozens of derivatives, are so fully involved with Cellular metabolism that "monomer" does not describe its many activities.
monomer
An RNA monomer is a nucleotide.
Polymer: DNA, Monomer: nucleotides Polymer: Proteins, Monomer: amino acids Polymer: Polysaccharides, Monomer: monosaccharides
There is no antonym for polymer
Triglycerides are composed of one glycerol molecule bonded to three fatty acids.
Cholesterol is a big molecule, C27H46O. However, it is a single molecule, and thus a monomer. In cells cholesterol is normally embedded in cell membrane and makes hydrogen bonds with surrounding molecules. In the blood, it is also not found alone, but packaged with lipids (triglycerides) and lipoproteins. Thus when looking at cholesterol levels in the blood, people often refer to HDLs and LDLs. The proteins in HDLs and LDLs are also discrete units with a specific structure, but they are considered to be polymers of amino acids.
monomer
A polymer. Polymers are formed from the repetition of monomer units through chemical bonding to create long chains or networks.
Teflon is polytetrafluoroethylene, so the monomer is tetrafluoroethylene.
the monomer of poly saccharide is glucose
An RNA monomer is a nucleotide.
The monomer of lipids is fatty acids.
Polymer: DNA, Monomer: nucleotides Polymer: Proteins, Monomer: amino acids Polymer: Polysaccharides, Monomer: monosaccharides
The monomer that is formed when starch is broken down is GLUCOSE.

what is the monomer thst forms proteins
Nucleotide is the monomer. Nucleotide is the monomer of Nucleic Acids.
