A Long Train With Many Cars.....

a: A polymer ~
b: a freight train

What: "a polymer is like a freight train with many cars. The individual cars would represent the monomers making up the polymer. If two monomers are joined then the resulting molecule is a dimer, if three monomers are linked, it's called a trimer, and so on... Thus, life is modular or has a modular construction."
