- Polymers are formed by the breakdown of monomers through hydrolysis.
- Monomers are large, complex units that link to form simpler polymers.
- Polymers are long chains formed by the dehydration synthesis (condensation) of many identical or similar monomeric units.
- Monomers are always different for each type of macromolecule, while polymers are structurally similar.
- Solubility in water at all temperatures.
- Ability to form crystalline structures.
- High molecular weight and polymeric nature formed by repeating monomeric units.
- Exclusive presence in living organisms.
