Polymer A large complex molecule made of monomers. sugar sugar sugar sugar Starch is a polymer made from a bunch of sugar monomers. YOU MUST MEMORIZE THIS! Polymer vs. Monomer__ Carbohydrate (starch) polysaccharide (sugar) monosaccharide Protein Polypeptide (bonds) amino acids Nucleic Acids (RNA & DNA) Nucleotides Lipids fats, oils, & waxes) Fatty Acids
