built from repeating monomers
A
Polymers
7
Q
Polymers are synthized by which process
A
Dehydration Synthesis
8
Q
Hydro-lysis
A
Adding water to one larger moleule to break it into smaller molcecles ( breaking down a polymer)
9
Q
Dehydration Synthesis is…
A
Loss of a water molecule and a covalent bond is formed so something ( 2 things) are built
10

A
OPPOSITES
11
Q
__ facilitate both hydrolysis and dehydr. synthesis
A
ENZYMES
