Explanation:

Polymers are macromolecule with large size and high molecular mass. They consists of several repeating units of simpler molecules known as monomers.

Examples of polymers found in plants are

- starch composed of several glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds

- cellulose composed of several repeating glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds as well

An example of polymers found in animals is

- glycogen composed of several units of glucose monomers linked by glycosidic bonds

Answer 2
