Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Smallest unit a biomolecule can be broken down into while still maintaining the properties.
A
Polymer
B
Monomer
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polymers are broken down into monomers in a process known as hydrolysis, which means “to split water, ” a reaction in which a water molecule is used during the breakdown. During these reactions, the polymer is broken into two components.

Detailed explanation-2: -1); the cell itself is the smallest fundamental unit of structure and function in living organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Macromolecules ("macro” meaning large) are large biological molecules that are made up of smaller units. The smallest units are called monomers: Joining monomers together creates polymers: How do you build and break down polymers?

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulases can break down cellulose into glucose monomers that can be used as an energy source by the animal. Carbohydrates serve other functions in different animals.
