They become glucose monomers.

When polymers are broken down into monomers, the body uses those monomers for a number of activities. Some of them include protein construction and respiration. The process of polymers breaking down to monomers is called hydrolysis.WRITEN BY: oneofthem:
I'm in the process of doing it. The jello will break down again. But ask me again tomorrow ha
Yes, lactase can definitely break down cellulose. In fact, when the lactase works to break down the cellulose, it breaks the cellulose down into two different monomers.
The hyphae in mycelium secrete enzymes, which break down the polymers into monomers. The mycelium then absorbs the monomers.

You have to cook the pineapple first. Jello won't solidify if you add fresh pineapple.Because pineapples contain proteases, enzymes that break down proteins. Since jello mixes are mostly made of collagen from animal parts, or proteins, pineapples break them down to their simplest forms. When you boil pineapple, it denatures the protease and you should be able to make pineapple jello then.
can break down glycogen and starch (ex: amylopectin or amylose). But not cellulose which is made from beta form glucose. Amylase, present in saliva, breaks down starch into maltose and simple sugars. The maltose is then broken down in the small intestine by maltase into glucose.

Condensation. The opposite is known as dehydration synthesis.
To utilize energy from a nutrient, the bonds need to be broken. Polysaccharides cannot be digested until it has been broken down into monomers (monosaccharides). To do this, enzymes need to break the glycosidic linkages between monomers.
