2. Explain the connection between monomers and polymers.
3. What molecule is released during
construction of a polymer? What
is this reaction called?
4. Draw at least three ways in which
five carbon atornis could be joined
to make different c arbon skeletons

The monomers combine with each other using covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. In doing so, monomers release water molecules as byproducts. This type of reaction is known as dehydration synthesis, which means “to put together while losing water.”

Explanation:

above statement is not a true statement about the open ocean because the open ocean has low levels of nutrients. most of the photosynthetic activity on earth occurs in the open ocean within the photic zone. organisms in the deep ocean are exposed to frigid temperatures and total darkness but it does not begin at the low-tide mark.
