Answer: a long molecule consisting of many similar or identical
building blocks linked by covalent bonds


●● monomers
Answer: repeating units that serve as the building blocks of a polymer


●● enzymes
Answer: specialized macromolecules that speed up chemical reactions in
cells


●● dehydration reaction
Answer: A chemical reaction in which two molecules covalently bond to
each other with the removal of a water molecule.


●● hydrolysis
Answer: A chemical reaction that breaks bonds between two molecules
by the addition of water; functions in disassembly of polymers to
monomers.

, ●● carbohydrates
Answer: Organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen in a ratio of one carbon atom to two hydrogen atoms to one
oxygen atom. They exist as monosaccharides, disaccharides, and
polysaccharides.
