POLYMERIZATION vs. DEPOLYMERIZATION

A ______reaction joins two smaller molecules into a larger molecule.

An ______removes atoms form smaller molecules to help form bonds between them.

During polymerization, a common chemical reaction occurs when enzymes remove a ______group from one molecule and a ______atom from the other molecule.

Enzymes are also essential in that they ______up the bond, (chemical reaction) between molecules when forming larger molecules.

The discarded atoms from each molecule typically form a molecule of ______.

THINK: (This is not from the video…What is another term for ‘condensation’?) ______

Hydrolysis is known as a ______reaction.

It is considered the “______” reverse of condensation the process.

An ______splits the molecule into two parts.

During hydrolysis, a ______group attaches to one ‘part’ and a ______atom to the other ‘part’ to the exposed sites form two smaller molecules.

Both condensation and hydrolysis are used to ______and ______many biological molecules.
