Here's a breakdown:
* Giant organic molecule: This refers to a large molecule made up of carbon atoms, usually combined with hydrogen, oxygen, and other elements.
* Small molecules linked together: These small molecules are called monomers. They bond together to form a long chain called a polymer.
Examples of polymers:
* Proteins: Made of amino acid monomers
* Carbohydrates: Made of sugar monomers (like glucose)
* Nucleic acids (DNA & RNA): Made of nucleotide monomers
* Plastics: Made of various synthetic monomers
