A protein

Explanation:

If the monomer is an amino acid, the polymer will be a long chain of individual amino acids. An amino acid chain forms a protein.

A string of amino acids is called a polypeptide chain. Polypeptide chains grow in number and begin to fold, creating helices and plated sheets. These interact with one another and keep becoming more and more complex until a protein is formed.
