Question 10

What is a polymer?

Answer 10

Multiple monomers put together

Question 11

What happens during dehydration synthesis?

Answer 11

takes h2o out of monomers. One monomers donates OH, one donates H. Requires energy & enzymes

Question 12

What happens during hydrolysis/digestion?

Answer 12

Uses H2O to break down polymers. Water is split into H and OH. Requires enzymes but releases energy
