∙ 9y agoEach time a monomer is hooked on to a connecting chain it loses a water molecule. This is the same reaction that occurs when a polymer is being produced. In order to build a polymer you must lose a water molecule. Cells need to break down polymers to get energy and to build new polymers. Cells break bonds between monomers by adding water to them the reverse of dehydration breaks down polymers. To build a polymer the water molecule has to be removed.

Condensation polymers can be broken down into their monomers by what kind of reaction?
HYDROLYSIS
What does your body meed to break down polymers into 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:
When polymers are broken down into polymers what would your body do with those monomers?
It tends to use them for things like, oh, respiration, protein construction, you know, surviving in general...
How would you describe the shape of a rock that has just broken off a larger block of rock?
i would describe it as the shape of a rock been broken down into pieces
Describe how rocks are broken naturally broken down into smaller pieces?
there are hundreds of different kinds of rocks rocks save for tomorrow
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
Are polymers broken down by the process of hydrogenation?
no.
How are polymers built and broken down?
The breaking down of some complex molecules, such as polymers, occurs through a process known as hydrolysis.Hydrolysis takes place in the presence of water containing an acid or a base as catalyst. The water causes polymers to breakdown to monomers. Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.
Polymers that can be broken down in the soil are said to be?
In soil !! x
What is the process in which polymers are broken down into simpler monomers?
hydrolysis

Chemical reactions that breakdown chemicals are called what?
Catabolic reactions breakdown polymers into monomers. Enzymes in our body essentially aid in that process. Polymers cannot be absorbed into the cells so it has to be broken down into simpler units.
What is the term use to describe a substance that can be broken down naturally?
Biodegradable.
