Question

quiz! a type of enzyme - catalyzed chemical reaction that is very common in biology that involves breaking down a polymer into its building blocks (monomers). a. condensation or dehydration synthesis b. hydrolysis c. redox d. oxidation

Explanation:

Hydrolysis is an enzyme - catalyzed reaction that breaks down polymers into monomers by adding water. Condensation or dehydration synthesis builds polymers from monomers by removing water. Redox reactions involve electron transfer and oxidation is a type of redox reaction related to the loss of electrons. The description in the question matches hydrolysis.

Answer:

B. Hydrolysis
