Because macromolecules are large molecules and are insoluble. It is easier to store them and use them when they have been hydrolysed to smaller molecules and are made soluble.

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:
A mycelium helps a fungus absorb nutrients from its environment because it provides?
The hyphae in mycelium secrete enzymes, which break down the polymers into monomers. The mycelium then absorbs the monomers.
Condensation polymers can be broken down into their monomers by what kind of reaction?
HYDROLYSIS
Describe how polymers are built and how they are broken down?
To Break a polymer water is used to break the inonic bonds in a process know as the hydrolosis effect. RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM.
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...

The polymers of food are broken down into their constituent monomers by reactions in the digestive tract?
Energy, by cellular respiration. Polymers of glucose, for instance, come into the body via your food and enzymes break them into monomers so they can be easily used in the cellular respiration process.
A mycelium helps a fungus absorb nutrients from its environment because it provides?
The hyphae in mycelium secrete enzymes, which break down the polymers into monomers. The mycelium then absorbs the monomers.
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
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 is the process in which polymers are broken down into simpler monomers?
hydrolysis
Condensation polymers can be broken down into their monomers by what kind of reaction?
HYDROLYSIS
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.
What do monomers do after they break down through hydrolysis?
They become glucose monomers.
Which term describes the breaking down of polymers such as starch and proteins into monomers the body can use?
Digestion
What is he chemical mechanism by which cells make polymers from monomers?
Dehydradtion reactions cause cells to make polymers from monomers.
Polymers are broken down into monomers through a process called?
Condensation. The opposite is known as dehydration synthesis.
