What are Monomers? 
Monomers are the smaller units from which larger molecules are made
What are Polymers? 
Polymers are molecules made from a large number of monomers joined together.
What are some examples of Monomers?
Monosaccharides
Amino Acids
Nucleotides
What is a condensation reaction?
Chemical reaction which joins two molecules together with the formation of a chemical bond, it also involves the elimination of a water molecule
What is a hydrolysis reaction?
A chemical reaction which breaks a chemical bond between two molecules and involves the use (addition) of a water molecule
