Question

number correct 8 number incorrect 2 monomers are joined together to form polymers. this is done when a hydrogen (h) from one monomer and a hydroxyl (oh) from another monomer combine to form water. this water is removed and the monomers bond to each other. (note: this is done by enzymes!) what is this process called? a. phosphorylation b. hydrolysis c. hydroxylation d. condensation (dehydration synthesis)

Explanation:

The process described involves monomers joining to form polymers, with the removal of a hydrogen from one monomer and a hydroxyl from another to form water. This is the definition of condensation (dehydration synthesis), where water is removed during the formation of a bond between monomers. Hydrolysis is the reverse (adding water to break polymers), and the other options (phosphorylation, hydroxylation) are unrelated to monomer - polymer formation via water removal.

Answer:

D. Condensation (Dehydration Synthesis)
