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: -Complex carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and proteins are all examples of polymers that are formed by dehydration synthesis. Monomers like glucose can join together in different ways and produce a variety of polymers.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
