Question

in animal cells, glycogen is broken down to release energy to help with muscle contraction. a polymer like glycogen is broken down in a process called hydrolysis, where a water molecule breaks, or lyses, a bond in the polymer to make monomers.
the model shows a hydrolysis reaction.
complete the sentence.
during a hydrolysis reaction, are broken down into to release

Explanation:

The text states that in hydrolysis, a polymer like glycogen is broken down. Polymers are large - molecule compounds made of repeating subunits (monomers). When polymers are hydrolyzed, they break into monomers, and energy is released. For example, glycogen (a polymer) is broken down into smaller sugar monomers.

Answer:

During a hydrolysis reaction, polymers are broken down into monomers to release energy.
