• Monomers

• Carbohydrates

Are you enjoying the video lesson?

• Yes

• No

What is released when monomers join to form polymers through dehydration synthesis?

• Oxygen

• Carbon dioxide

• Water

• Hydrogen

What process breaks down polymers into their monomer sub-units by adding water?

• Dehydration synthesis

• Hydrolysis

• Polymerization

• Condensation

How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis related?

• They are unrelated processes.

• They both involve the formation of polymers.

• They are opposite reactions.

• They both require the removal of water.
