Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Polymers are large molecules made up of many subunits called monomers linked together to form a chain. Therefore, the relationship between monomers and polymers is that polymers are made up of monomers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrolysis reactions use water to breakdown polymers into monomers and is the opposite of dehydration synthesis, which forms water when synthesizing a polymer from monomers. Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Polymers are chains of monomers. Condensation and hydrolysis create or break up these monomers forming new polymers.
