Question 8

what is the molecular formula for glucose

Answer 8

C6H12O6

Question 9

what is the definition of isomers

Answer 9

two molecules or more that have the same molecular formula but different structure

Question 10

how do we convert monomer into polymers

Answer 10

-condensation reaction
-it forms a chemical bond between monomers
-releasing a molecule of water

Question 11

how do we convert polymers back into monomers

Answer 11

-hydrolysis reaction
breaks the chemical bond between the monomers
- through the addition of water
