because water is produced as a by-product!

What is the chemical reaction by which monomers are linked together to form polymers?
This type of reaction is named polymerization.
What reactions occur when monomers are joined together to form larger polymers?
The general term is "polymerization reactions." The main types of polymerization reactions are condensation reactions (a small molecule is lost at each step) or addition reactions (no molecule is lost at each step). Each of these is then further subdivided into categories depending on the specific chemistry that's involved.
What is a polymerization process that forms complex carbohydrates?
The polymerization process that forms complex carbohydrates is called Dehydration Synthesis.
What is it called when Making complex chemicals from simple substances?
The polymerization process is an example.
What reaction turn polymers into monomers?
The simple one word answer is polymerization. There are a number of methods of achieving this. One method is dehydration synthesis in which for example a poly alcohol is reacted with a polyacid to form a polyester and water. Another would be addition polymerization which can be achieved by use of an intiator or even UV light.Dehydration synthesis turns monomers into polymers.Monomers are broken up through hydrolysis reactions. This is when the monomers break and are "capped" with a hydrogen or a hydroxyl (if not, then such molecules can do damage to the body). This process is aided by enzymes (proteins) which catalyze the reactions.
What are 2 basis types of chemical reactions?
Examples: oxidation, reduction, synthesis, thermal degradation, polymerization, etc.
What are polymerizations reactions sometimes called dehydration synthesis reactions?
In polymerization reactions, one monomer loses an OH group and the other loses an H atom, which combine to form water, and the monomers combine chemically to one another. See the related link for an illustration of two amino acids combining in a dehydration synthesis reaction.
What is the chemical reaction by which monomers are linked together to form polymers?
This type of reaction is named polymerization.
What is the name for a reaction that links monomers to form a food chain?
Dehydration synthesis is the name for a reaction that links monomers to form a chain.
What reactions occur when monomers are joined together to form larger polymers?
The general term is "polymerization reactions." The main types of polymerization reactions are condensation reactions (a small molecule is lost at each step) or addition reactions (no molecule is lost at each step). Each of these is then further subdivided into categories depending on the specific chemistry that's involved.
What synthesis is the polymerization process in which a water molecule is lost in the process?
Dehydration synthesis
The process of forming a larger molecule from its monomer is called what?
Many terms can describe this process. The reactions involved are called dehydration synthesis (aka condensation) reactions or more specifically polymerization reactions. However the process can be called an anabolic process.
Reactions in which small molecules are put together to build larger ones?
It is a part of combination reactions. Two or more elements or compound react to form a largermolecule.Example:-NH3 + H2O -------> NH4OHCaO + CO2 ---------> CaCO3
Formed during dehydration synthesis or condensation polymerization?
Water
What is a polymerization process that forms complex carbohydrates?
The polymerization process that forms complex carbohydrates is called Dehydration Synthesis.
Are exothermic reactions decomposition reactions or are they synthesis reactions?
Synthesis reactions are generally characterized by being exothermic. Decomposition reactions are usually endothermic.
What does a amylosplant do?
They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules, through the polymerization of glucose.
