cracking well that's wat my teacher said anyway hope that helps

Macromolecules.
Large molecules formed by monomers are called polymers. Polymers are made up of repeating units of smaller molecules (monomers) linked together in a chain. Examples of polymers include proteins, DNA, and plastics.

The breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones to be absorbed by cells is called digestion. This process involves the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into their smaller components (such as glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids) that can be readily absorbed and used by the body.
The process of breaking down large molecules into smaller molecules is called catabolism. This process releases energy that cells can use for various functions.
The process you are referring to is called catabolism. Catabolism involves breaking down large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process. This process is essential for producing energy and building blocks for anabolic reactions in cells.
Hydrolysis is the chemical reaction that breaks down large molecules into smaller molecules by adding water. Hydrolysis involves the cleavage of chemical bonds through the addition of water molecules.

Large organic molecules (macromolecules) are generally formed by condensation reactions between smaller molecules.Condensation means that a small molecule is formed from the atoms removed during the reaction. In cells, the small molecule is water, so the type of condensation reaction is dehydration.Examples:glucose + (chain of n glucose residues) forms chain of n + 1 residues + wateramino acid + (chain of n amino acid residues) forms chain of n + 1 residues + water
