BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -The monomers combine with each other via covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. In doing so, monomers release water molecules as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polymers are held together by primary bonds (covalent bonds) and secondary bonds (van der Waals and hydrogen bonds). In covalent bonding there is a sharing of valence electrons (the s and p shells) to complete an octet (a group of eight electrons) around atoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a protein, amino acid monomers are held together by covalent peptide bonds between the amino group of one monomer and the carboxylic acid group of the adjacent monomer.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monomers are small molecules that can be joined to form more complex molecules called polymers in a repeated fashion. Monomers form polymers by the formation of chemical bonds or the supramolecular binding through a process called polymerization.
