Monomers are small, simple molecules that can join together to form larger and more complex structures known as polymers. The process of linking monomers together is called polymerization. Monomers can be organic compounds, such as those containing carbon, or inorganics, such as silicates. Common examples of monomers include: 1. **Glucose** - a simple sugar that can polymerize to form starch or cellulose.
