Polymers are long molecules with  an unpredictablean unstablean alternatingan irregulara complexa repeating structure. They can be made from small molecules called  alkaneswatermixturesestersmonomersacids, which join together in a chain, and the type affects what kind of polymer is produced.  CondensationAdditionHydrocarbonPrecipitationSubstitutionLong polymers are formed from alkenes; for example,  etheneethaneethanoic acidethanolethanoateethanal is used to form poly(ethene) and propene is used to form  poly(propane)poly(propene)poly(propanol)propanoic acidpolypeptidespropemers.

Deoxyribonucleic acid, also known as  DRADRBADRNADOADNARNA, is a biological polymer. Its monomers are called  helicesnucleotidesamino acidsglucosesugarsfatty acids and have the symbols A, C, G and  UOTNHM. It contains all of the information required for life. Other biological polymers include starch and  haemoglobincellulosechlorophyllglucosefatfructose, which are both polymers with sugar monomers.
