Simply - polymerization. However, this is usually addition polymerization but not always. Nylon is formed by condensation polymerization and the polymers used to make waterbased latex paints is usually called emulsion polymerization.

What is the chemical reaction by which monomers are linked together to form polymers?
This type of reaction is named polymerization.
When monomers combine they form what?
Monomers hook up to form polymers. There is a link below that will lead you to the Wikipedia post on polymers.Water is also produced, this is a condensation reaction.
What is the monomers and polymers of lipids?
Lipids do not have monomers and they themselves are the polymer
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 reaction causes a polymer?
A reaction that results in the synthesis of polymers from a quantity of a single corresponding monomer is usually called "polymerization", and if there are two or more monomers that can combine with themselves as well as with each other, the reaction is better called "copolymerization". However, if there is more than one monomer and the chemical nature of the polymerization requires that the monomers alternate with each other, as in phenol-formaldehyde resins, the reaction is usually called a "condensation" reaction. It is also possible to synthesize polymers by reacting a different polymer, as in "polyvinylalcohol", which is made by hydrolyzing a polyvinyl ester, since the notional "vinyl alcohol" monomer is too unstable to use directly.
What mean polymerise?
Polymers are chemical substances which are made up from smaller units, called monomers. The reaction of joining these monomers to form this larger unit is called polymerisation. (monomers polymerise into polymers). The subunits, or polymers, are typical of the chemical substances. For example, the monomers of proteins are amino acids, monomers of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides. The reaction itself, by what these monomers are joining together, is a dehydration or condensation reaction.
What are Monomers of large macromolecules assembled during a chemical reaction called?
Polymers
What is the term for the chemical reaction that joins the monomers of polymers together?
Dehydration synthesis or condensation
What is the chemical reaction by which monomers are linked together to form polymers?
This type of reaction is named polymerization.
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 is another name for condensation reaction?
A condensation reaction is a chemical reaction where man-made polymers are made. Condensation reaction is a reaction that links monomers with the release of water.
When monomers combine they form what?
Monomers hook up to form polymers. There is a link below that will lead you to the Wikipedia post on polymers.Water is also produced, this is a condensation reaction.
What is the mechanism that your body uses to create polymers from monomers?
Dehydration reaction.
Condensation polymers can be broken down into their monomers by what kind of reaction?
HYDROLYSIS
Do condensation reaction join monomers?
yes. that is one of the methods to form polymers.
What type of chemical reaction connects polymers together?
The type of chemical reaction that connects polymers together is dehydration synthesis.
When water is added to a reaction causing large polymers to split into monomers that is called?
hydrolysis
