We call them a monomer, they are chemically bonded smaller molecules that make up the shape of a larger molecule. I hope that this helps!

Polymers are large macromolecules made up of smaller molecules called monomers. For example, monomers called monosaccharide’s are joined together to form polymers called polysaccharides.
