Answer 1

The right answer for the first gap is monomer.

The right answer for the second gap is polymer.

The polymer is a large molecule consisting of basic units called monomers (or monomer units) connected by covalent bonds.

A monomer is a compound of simple molecules that can react with other monomers to give a polymer.

Answer 2
