What type of reaction connect monomers and what occurs during said reaction?
Monomers are connected together to build a relatively complex (macro) molecule by polymerization reaction. Lets say proteins (polymer) for example are made by peptide bonds connected with "n" number of amino acids (monomers).
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.
Which term identifies a reaction breaks apart macromolecules?
The term that identifies a reaction that breaks apart macromolecules is "hydrolysis." In hydrolysis, water molecules are used to break the bonds holding macromolecules together, resulting in the formation of smaller molecules or monomers.
Describe how polymers are built and how they are broken down?
To Break a polymer water is used to break the inonic bonds in a process know as the hydrolosis effect. RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM.
What is the name of the process that breaks the bond in a polymer?
The reaction that breaks the bonds between atoms within a polymer chain is called "scission". The bonds between chains of monomers, if they exist at all, are not chemical bonds and are broken by thermal motion. *****It is actually called hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule is separated into two parts by adding a molecule of water.****
Polymers are broken down into monomers through a process called?
Condensation. The opposite is known as dehydration synthesis.
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.

When water evaporates do the covalent bonds between O atoms and H atoms break or do the hydrogen bonds break and why?
The hydrogen bonds break.
What is water-water bonds called in a beaker of water?
The bonds beween the water molecules, H2O, are called hydrogen bonds.
Do hydrogen bonds in pure water break and reform?
The hydrogen bonds in pure water reform and break as they are intermolecular forces. If they didn't break and reform then pure water would be solid and life couldn't exist.
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.
Why does soap break water bonds?
cause it absorbs it
What bonds link the monomers of DNA?
A covalent bond links chemical bonds and polymer plastics together. It is a chemical bond is the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. The stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between the atoms.

What term describes when ionic bonds break in water?
Disassociation
