Which of the following is a common feature of the illustrated reactions showing the linking of monomers to form macromolecules?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify a common feature in the illustrated chemical reactions that depict how monomers link together to form macromolecules, focusing on the type of bonds formed and the production of water.
Answer
C: Monomers are joined by a covalent bond, and a water molecule is produced.
The final answer is C: Monomers are joined by a covalent bond, and a water molecule is produced.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is C: Monomers are joined by a covalent bond, and a water molecule is produced.
More Information
In condensation reactions, monomers form macromolecules by eliminating water while creating covalent bonds—common in carbohydrates and proteins.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing with hydrolysis, where water is consumed rather than produced.
