The monomer, polymer and copolymer are given below.
Monomer
A molecule that can be bonded to other repeated subunits to form a polymer.
Polymer
A polymer is a huge molecule, composed by other identical molecules.
Homopolymer
Homopolymer is made from identical monomer units.

Explanation of Solution
Monomer is a molecule that can be bonded to other repeated subunits to form a polymer.
Example of Monomers are
Monosaccharides (simple sugars)
Amino-acids.
Polymer is needs to be known
Polymer
A polymer is a huge molecule, composed by other identical molecules.
Examples of Polymers are
Polysaccharides
Polypeptides
Homopolymer
Homopolymer is made from identical monomer units.
The copolymer needs to be known.
When two or more different monomers unite together to polymerize, the product is called a copolymer and the process is called copolymerization
The monomer, polymer, homopolymer and copolymer were explained.
