Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Large polymers can be broken down through a process called:
A
dehydration synthesis
B
combustion
C
single replacement
D
hydrolysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polymers are broken down into monomers via hydrolysis reactions, in which a bond is broken, or lysed, by addition of a water molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Polymers of all sorts can be broken apart by hydrolysis reactions. In hydrolysis the addition of a water molecule (with the help of a hydrolase enzyme) breaks the covalent bond holding the monomers together.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hydrolysis is the breakdown of large molecules to form smaller molecules. Water molecules are used in this process.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hydrolysis involves the reaction of an organic chemical with water to form two or more new substances and usually means the cleavage of chemical bonds by the addition of water.
