100

Compare a monomer to a polymer.

Monomer: smallest unit, or building block of an organic molecule

Polymer: long-chain molecule made up of repeated monomers

200

What is the difference between an unsaturated fat and a saturated fat. Provide an example of each.

Unsaturated: Bent/Branched chain from C=C bonds, liquid at room temp

Ex. Vegetable oils, plant & fish fats

Saturated: Straight chain, solid at room temp, BAD

Ex. Grease from animal meat, butter, lard
