===About Monomers===
: Different [[monomer]]s are used to produce different [[polymer]]s.
There are several [[monomer]]s that you may know:
*[[Glucose]] - This [[monomer]] comes together in a [[Condensation Polymerisation]] to form the [[polymer]]s; [[starch]] and [[glycogen]].
*[[Amino Acid]]s - This [[monomer]] comes together in a [[Condensation Polymerisation]] to form the [[polymer]]s known as [[protein]]s.
*[[Nucleotide]]s - This [[monomer]] comes together in a [[Condensation Polymerisation]] to form the [[polymer]]; [[DNA]].
*[[Ethene]] - This [[monomer]] comes together in an [[Addition Polymerisation]] to form the [[polymer]]; [[polythene]].
*[[Propene]] - This [[monomer]] comes together in an [[Addition Polymerisation]] to form the [[polymer]]; [[polypropene]].
*[[Tetrafluoroethene]] - This [[monomer]] comes together in an [[Addition Polymerisation]] to form the [[polymer]]; [[polytetrafluoroethene]].
