Question

a. most of your bodys molecules are compounds.
a. are built from small organic compounds the same way a railroad train is built, by linking a lot of smaller units together into long chains.
i. large carbon compounds are built up from smaller simpler molecules called (mono = )
ii. monomers can bind to one another to form complex molecules known as (poly = )
iii. a polymer consists of repeated, linked units, which can also bind forming large polymers called. (macro = )
b. monomers link to form polymers through a chemical reaction called or. during the formation of polymers, water (h₂o), is released or is by - product of the reaction.
c. the breakdown of some complex molecules, such as polymers, occurs through a process known as.
i. hydrolysis is the of a condensation reaction. the addition of water, to some polymers can break the bonds that hold them together.

Explanation:

• Organic compounds are the main molecules in the body.
• Monomers (mono = one) form polymers (poly = many), and polymers can form macromolecules (macro = large).
• Condensation (or dehydration synthesis) links monomers to form polymers with water as a by - product.
• Hydrolysis is the reverse of condensation, breaking polymers by adding water.
