What else can I help you with?
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.
Condensation polymers can be broken down into their monomers by what kind of reaction?
HYDROLYSIS
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 monomers would result from the hydrolysis of proteins?
The monomers that result from the hydrolysis of proteins are amino acids. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Through hydrolysis, these peptide bonds are broken, resulting in the release of individual amino acids.
What is the basic process of digestion during which water molecules are added back into polymers to separate them into their smaller monomers so they can be absorbed?
This process is called hydrolysis. During hydrolysis, water molecules are added to break chemical bonds within polymers, separating them into their smaller monomers. This allows for the absorption of the monomers by the body, which can then be used for energy or other cellular functions.
What do monomers do after they break down through hydrolysis?
They become glucose monomers.
What is the term for the reaction that separates monomers?
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

Polymers are broken down into monomers through a process called?
Condensation. The opposite is known as dehydration synthesis.
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
Which reaction dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis converts a polymer to its monomer?
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.
