Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In the process of ____ polymers can be broken down into monomer pieces by the addition of water.
A
Condensation Cutting
B
Dehydration Synthesis
C
Pyrolysis
D
Hydrolysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polymers are broken down into monomers in a process known as hydrolysis, which means β€œto split water, β€˜β€™ 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: -Answer and Explanation: Hydrolysis is the process that breaks bonds between two molecules by the addition of water and disassembles polymers to monomers. Hydrolysis reaction results in the collapse of polymers into monomers by utilizing a water molecule as well as an enzymatic catalyst.

Detailed explanation-3: -During digestion, these polymers are broken down into monomers, which are then absorbed and transported to all cells of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dehydration synthesis leads to the formation of polymers from small monomers where monomers are combined together by the removal of small molecules such as water. Dehydration reaction results in the formation of a covalent bond.
