Polymers are formed by hydrolysis true or false?
This is for sure &*!@)!(@)!(@, this is because senior is too good for you.
What reaction splits organic polymers?
Depolymerization. Hydrolysis also for certain polymers.
What type fo chemical reaction occurs when polymers are broken apart by water?
they bond together
How are polymers broken-down to monomers?
It certainly depends on what type of polymer you are speaking. For peptide polymers the reaction for monomerization is hydrolysis. This is the addition of water in combination with the cleavage of the peptide bond.
What does the breakdown of a polymer involve?
The breaking down of some complex molecules, such as polymers, occurs through a process known as hydrolysis.Hydrolysis takes place in the presence of water containing an acid or a base as catalyst. The water causes polymers to breakdown to monomers. Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.

What type of chemical reaction occurs when polymers are broken apart by water?
Hydrolysis. Polymers are broken down into monomers in a process known as hydrolysis
What reaction splits organic polymers?
Depolymerization. Hydrolysis also for certain polymers.
What is the process in which polymers are broken down into simpler monomers?
hydrolysis
What type fo chemical reaction occurs when polymers are broken apart by water?
they bond together
How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions related?
dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules. hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.
What do monomers and polymers have to do with photosynthesis?
Monomers come together to form polymers through dehydration condensation and polymers split apart from monomers through hydrolysis.
What is the term for where water is added to break the bonds found in polymers?
Hydrolysis
Condensation polymers can be broken down into their monomers by what kind of reaction?
HYDROLYSIS
How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis related?
They are (generally) opposite reactions. Dehydration (condensation) reactions build polymers from monomers by removing water while hydrolysis reactions break polymers into monomers by adding water.
What is the function of hydrolysis in metabolizing polymers?
A water molecule being added to break a bond between polymers reducing them to sections, or monomers.
Does breaking monomer cause polymers?
No. Monomers are the building blocks of Polymers. When a Polymer is broken (by Hydrolysis) you get monomers or a monomer and a shorter ploymer.
