Formula units
The formation of large molecules from small repeating units is known as a condensation reaction. A condensation reaction is also known as dehydration synthesis.
Smaller molecules called amino acids make protein molecules.
That happens all the time. Smaller molecules combine to form larger molecules; larger molecules break up into smaller molecules.
The number of units will decrease and if it is going from largest to smallest the number of units will increase.

Polymer
The process that breaks up molecules into smaller units is called catabolism. Large molecules, such as nucleic acids, are broken down into smaller molecules, such as amino acids.
Molecules. DNA is a big molecule made by smaller molecules. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA
Macromolecules are giant molecules that are formed when thousands of smaller units of identical molecules are joined together. This process of joining together smaller identical units into a large macromolecules (polymer) is called polymerisation.
It's called a polymer ( the single unit is a monomer) a repetitive bonding of a series of smaller molecules, a good example being a complex sugar molecule, a carbohydrate, compose of a string of smaller simple sugars (monosaccharides) to make it a polysaccharide.
Polymerization can be anobolic or catabolic when it is taking place in biomolecules.Anabolic if, set of metabolic pathways lead to construct molecules from smaller units which require energy and catabolic if, set of pathways break down molecules into smaller units and release energy.
Molecules, and atoms that make up molecules. An atom is made of smaller particles called protons, electrons, and neutrons. Smaller to this are groups such as fermions, Hadrons, Bosons
Molecules are composed of atoms. Depending on how you break up a molecule, you may also form ions (charged particles) or free radicals (molecules with unpaired electrons).
phospholipids
Bio molecules are large, complex moleucles build from smaller, simpler, repeating units. Most bio molecules contain carbon atoms that are bonded together in chains and rings.
Not whole strands no, but the molecules that compose it are recycled.
