A process by which cells build large molecules from monomers is:  a. Hydrolysis b. Reproduction c. Condensation d. All are correct
A process by which cells break polymers down into smaller units is:  a. Hydrolysis b. Condensation c. Reproduction d. All are correct
____ bonds are formed between monomers to form a polymer.  a. Ionic bonds b. Covalent bonds c. Hydrogen bonds d. Hydrophobic bonds e. Nuclear bonds
Describe a dehydration reaction (also known as dehydration synthesis) as it would occur during the building of a protein. Indicate what type of bond is formed with each reaction.
What is the relationship between the terms" monomer" and "polymer"? Imagine that you are teaching this concept to 10yr olds. Knowing that children love visual aids (don't we all?) how could you teach them the meaning of these terms?
