A

inorganic compounds

22
Q

built from small organic compounds the same way a railroad train is built linking together

A

macromolecule

23
Q

large carbon compounds are built up from smaller simpler molecules called

24
Q

monomers can bind together to one another to form complex molecules known as

25
a polymer consists of repeated, linked units, which can also bind forming large polymers called
macromolecules
26
monomers link together to form polymers through a chemical reaction called
condensation or dehydration synthesis
27
what happens during the formation of polymers
water is released or is a by-product of the reaction
28
the breakdown of some complex molecules such as polymers occurs through a process known as
hydrolysis
29
what happens during the process of hydrolysis
addition of water to some polymers can break the bond that holds them together
