Question

what is the differences between monomers and polymers?

monomers are much larger units.

polymers can create monomers.

polymers are built from monomers.

Explanation:

To determine the correct statement about monomers and polymers, we analyze each option:

• "Monomers are much larger units" is incorrect. Monomers are small, repeating units, while polymers are larger, made from monomers.
• "Polymers can create monomers" is incorrect. Usually, monomers combine (polymerization) to form polymers, and polymers can be broken down (hydrolysis) to form monomers, but the statement's phrasing is inaccurate as a defining difference.
• "Polymers are BUILT from monomers" is correct. Polymers are large molecules formed by the covalent bonding of many monomer units (e.g., amino acids are monomers of proteins (polymers), nucleotides are monomers of nucleic acids (polymers)).

Answer:

Polymers are BUILT from monomers.
