1. monomer

   A monomer is a molecule that can react with other similar molecules to form a larger polymer chain. Monomers usually contain a double bond or other functional groups, such as an acid, alcohol or amine group, which can react to form these larger structures. Examples of monomers include glucose, amino acids, and nucleotides.

1. Monomer

   A monomer is a molecule that may bind chemically to other molecules to form a polymer. The term "monomeric protein" may also be used to describe one of the proteins making up a multiprotein complex. The most common natural monomer is glucose, which is linked by glycosidic bonds into polymers such as cellulose and starch, and is over 77% of the mass of all plant matter. Most often the term monomer refers to the organic molecules which form synthetic polymers, such as, for example, vinyl chloride, which is used to produce the polymer polyvinyl chloride.
