polymers like cellulose give structure to plants. Glycogen is a polymer of glucose and, as such, is a wonderful for storage. Because of its repeating polymer nature, it takes up less space than regular glucose. So, I would say the most important aspects of organic polymerization is for structure and storage.

Polymers such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids can be built in many sizes and shapes for all the functions necessary in living cells. Part of their adaptability lies in the way they are built on carbon atoms. Each carbon can make four covalent bonds - quite versatile!

because you only have to know how to make the monomer, it's much simpler, you just make one small part over and over
