condensation
Polysaccharides
A condensation reaction forms one large molecule from two or more smaller molecules. This process involves the removal of a smaller molecule, such as water, as two molecules combine to form a larger product.
Macromolecules.

Macromolecules.
Yes. A molecule is made up of atoms, and similarly atoms can be broken down into smaller components called protons, neutrons, and electrons. These can be further broken down into quarks and leptons, the building blocks for all matter.
The process is called hydrolysis, which involves breaking down a compound by adding a water molecule to cleave its chemical bonds. This reaction is commonly used in biological systems to digest large molecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into their smaller building blocks for absorption and energy production.
Polymers.
A molecule containing a very large number of atoms.
Hydrolysis is the reaction that stems from the breakdown of large molecules by the enzymatic addition of water. Hydrolysis is step leading to the degradation of the substance. It is a chemical reaction in which a molecule of water is added to a substance. At times water and the substance will split and one part of the parent molecule will receive one hydrogen ion.
No, it is one molecule.However some large organic molecules (i.e. polymers) are formed from small organic molecules (i.e. monomers) that bond together into long chains, forming one new large molecule. The small molecules no longer exist as individual molecules after bonding into the large molecule.
