What are monomers and polymers?

Answer 1

Polymers are composed of monomers.

In order to form polymers, identical repeating units called monomers form covalent bonds.

The process of creating polymers is called polymerization. Since proteins are polymers made of repeating units of amino acids, amino acids are the building blocks (monomers) in this case. Consider a necklace made of identical pearls. The necklace represents the polymer, and the pearls are monomer units. Each pearl is bonded to one monomer on its left and one on its right.

Monomers are small molecules that can bond together to form larger molecules called polymers through a process known as polymerization. Polymers are made up of repeating units of monomers bonded together.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
