How does a dehydration reaction differ from a hydrolysis reaction? (Select all that apply.) a. Hydrolysis joins monomers into polymers, and dehydration breaks polymers into monomers. b. Monomers dissolve in water in hydrolysis, and water evaporates from m ...
What is the process that breaks bonds between two molecules by the addition of water and disassembles polymers to monomers? What type of bond (other than covalent) holds the monomers of carbohydrates together? Why are lipids not considered polymers in the sense that polysaccharides are?
Polyacrylic acid is a large-molecular-weight compound called a polymer, which consists of small repeating units called monomers. The polyacrylate polymer used in diapers is constructed from the acrylic acid and sodium acrylate monomers. The length of the polymer chain and the properties of the polym...
Recent innovations are exploring ways to make thermosets more recyclable, including chemical recycling methods that break down the polymers into monomers that can be reused. 4 How are thermoplastics recycled? Thermoplastics are recycled by melting them down and reshaping them into new products, a proce...
Like other polymers, spandex is made from repeating chains of monomers that are held together with an acid. Early in the spandex development process, it was recognized that this material is highly heat-resistant, which means that notoriously heat-sensitive fabrics like nylon and polyester are impro...
Chemical recycling, also referred to as monomer recycling, puts used plastics through a chemical process that breaks them back down to theirmonomers. Such an approach is only feasible for condensation-typepolymersthat can be re-monomerized, such as polyesters (notably PET) and polyamides, but this...
Polystyrene is formed when styrene monomers join together. This process breaks apart the carbon-carbon π bond. During this chemical reaction, a carbon-carbon σ bond is created, which is stronger and makes it difficult to convert the polymer back into its original parts. ...
Heating breaks the bonds holding the two DNA strands together. The process is calleddenaturation,as the double-stranded DNA molecule is denatured to two single-stranded molecules. One DNA strand will be called the template strand, while its pair is called the complementary strand. ...
What are the names of reactions that build monomers into polymers and break down polymers into monomers? What is the covalent bond between the carboxyl group on one amino acid and the amino group on the next, formed by a dehydration reaction?
a. Hydrolysis joins monomers into polymers, and dehydration breaks polymers into monomers. b. Monomers dissolve in water in hydrolysis, and water evaporates from m What is the synthesis and degradation of small molecules (metabolic intermediates)? Explain in detail condensation reaction of lactose, ...
