Yes, that's a valid analogy. In this comparison:
- A word serves as a fundamental unit of meaning, just as a monomer serves as a fundamental unit of a polymer.
- A sentence is composed of multiple words that come together to convey a complete thought, similar to how a polymer is made up of many repeating monomers that combine to form a larger, more complex structure.
So, just as words combine to create meaning in a sentence, monomers combine to create the structure and function of a polymer.
