A __________ consists of many monomers bonded together.

• monomer

• hydrocarbon

• peptide

• polymer (macromolecule)

Answer explanation

A polymer is the correct choice because it is a large molecule composed of many smaller units called monomers bonded together. Monomers are the individual units, hydrocarbons are compounds made of hydrogen and carbon, and peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are a specific type of monomer.
