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.

What is the name of the reactions that join monomers together to form polymers?

Polymerization reactions are the reactions that join monomers together to form polymers. These reactions involve the bonding of monomers through the formation of covalent bonds to create a larger molecule.


How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis related?

They are (generally) opposite reactions. Dehydration (condensation) reactions build polymers from monomers by removing water while hydrolysis reactions break polymers into monomers by adding water.


What is the name of the organ system that is responsible for the chemical breakdown of polymers into monomers?

Digestive system 


What is made up of monomer?

Polymers are made up of repeating units called monomers. Monomers are small molecules that can join together to form larger polymer chains through chemical reactions. Examples of polymers include proteins, DNA, and plastics.


How are monomers related to polymers.?

Monomers are the building blocks of polymers.


Which is smaller polymers or monomers?

Monomers.


What do monomers and polymers have to do with photosynthesis?

Monomers come together to form polymers through dehydration condensation and polymers split apart from monomers through hydrolysis.


What reaction forms monomers?

Polymerization reactions form monomers. Monomers are smaller molecules that come together to form larger polymer molecules through various chemical reactions, such as condensation polymerization or addition polymerization. During polymerization, monomers join together to create long chains or networks, resulting in the formation of polymers.


What is the difference between polymers and monomers?

Monomers are small molecules that can join together to form larger molecules called polymers. Polymers are made up of repeating units of monomers linked together in a chain. Polymers have higher molecular weights and more complex structures compared to monomers.


What do monomers do?

Polymers


When monomers combine they form what?

Monomers hook up to form polymers. There is a link below that will lead you to the Wikipedia post on polymers.Water is also produced, this is a condensation reaction.


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.
