Answer:

Polymer, any of a class of natural or synthetic substances composed of very large molecules, called macromolecules, that are multiples of simpler chemical units called monomers. Polymers make up many of the materials in living organisms, including, for example, proteins, cellulose, and nucleic acids.

During the polymerisation of ethene, thousands of ethene molecules join together to make poly(ethene) - commonly called polythene. Ethene is known as the monomer. Poly(ethene) is the polymer. The number of molecules joining up is very variable, but is in the region of 2000 to 20000.
