Polymers are long molecules with  an unstablea repeatingan alternatingan unpredictable structure. They can be made from small molecules called  watermonomersestersacids, which join together in a chain, and the type affects what kind of polymer is produced.  LongSubstitutionAdditionHydrocarbon polymers are formed from alkenes; for example,  ethanalethaneetheneethanoate is used to form poly(ethene) and propene is used to form  propemerspropanoic acidpolypeptidespoly(propene).  DoubleCondensationDihydrocarbonEvaporation polymers are formed from subunits with two functional groups, like dialcohols and dicarboxylic acids. When the subunits join together, a small molecule such as water is  expandedexpelledaddeddoubled.

Deoxyribonucleic acid, also known as  DOADNARNADRBA, is a biological polymer. Its monomers are called  fatty acidsnucleotidesglucosehelices and have the symbols A, C, G and  UHTO. It contains all of the information required for life. Other biological polymers include starch and  cellulosehaemoglobinchlorophyllfat, which are both polymers with sugar monomers.

Polypeptides are polymers formed from  lipidsamino acidsglycerolhydroxides. They can be combined together to form the biological molecules  proteinscarbohydratescellsnucleic acids.
