Biological molecules

Question 1

Monomers & polymers

Answer 1

Monomers are small units
polymers are many monomers joined together.

Monomers making polymers is a condensation reaction which is the joining of 2 molecules making a chemical bond(H2O is removed).

The reverse reaction is hydrolysis which is the breaking of chemical bond between 2 molecules by the addition of H2O
