A monomer is the singular unit that can join with other monomers to create complex polymers. An example of a monomer is glucose which can then combined to form glycogen. Another example may be that the beta-glucose monomer is used to form the polymers cellulose. Besides that, amino acids is a monomer which are the basic building block for protein.
