The term for the long chains is polymer and the process is called polymerization. Poly- means many, whereas -mer means unit. Many units are combined to form a new, single unit.

Carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids are built from small molecular units that are connected to each other by strong covalent bonds. The small molecular units are called monomers (mono means one, or single), and they are linked together into long chains called polymers (poly means many, or multiple).
