The reaction that breaks the bonds between atoms within a polymer chain is called "scission". The bonds between chains of monomers, if they exist at all, are not chemical bonds and are broken by thermal motion.
*****It is actually called hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule is separated into two parts by adding a molecule of water.****
Glycosidic Bond. For example, in a disaccharide, two monosaccharides form a glycosidic bond with the loss of water.
sterne
Hydrolysis is another name for the chemical digestion of polymers. This process involves breaking down large molecules into smaller units using water molecules.
Another name for starch is a carbohydrate polymer.
polymerisation. 2 monomers split to forn a polymer
Glycosidic Bond. For example, in a disaccharide, two monosaccharides form a glycosidic bond with the loss of water.
Polyethylene is a polymer that is made from butane through a process called polymerization.
Glycosidic bonds are typically cleaved in hydrolysis reactions by enzymes called hydrolases.
Dissolving?
The process is called hydrolysis. In this process, a water molecule is used to break the bond between two monomers.
Hydrolysis converts polymers to monomers by adding H2O between each monomer. In dehydration synthesis, the opposite occurs. As the name implies, water is removed in order to bond the monomers.
mitosis
The name of the mechanical process that breaks up food in the stomach is known as peristalsis. During peristalsis, the muscles of the digestive system contract and relax, moving food along the gastrointestinal tract.
polysaccharide
Glycolysis breaks down food. Glycolysis is a process of cellular respiration
its called weathering, or erosion
a polymer is a plastic. a monomer is a chain of molecules which are alkenes as they have a double covalent bond in them. This monomer is then heated and the double covalent bonds break and join with others to make a longer chain of molecules. this is a polymer-plastic. to find out the name of a polymer add poly to the name of the monomer e.g. ethene is a monomer and when it is heated it makes polyethene which is a plastic.
