What is the Chemical Reaction Mechanism by Which Cells Make

Question

What is the chemical reaction mechanism by which cells make polymers from monomers?
A)phosphodiester linkages
B)hydrolysis
C)dehydration reactions
D)ionic bonding of monomers
E)the formation of disulphide bridges between monomers

Accepted Answer

Cells make polymers from monomers through dehydration reactions, which involve the removal of a water molecule between two monomers to form a covalent bond known as a polymer linkage. This is the chemical reaction mechanism by which proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids are synthesized in the cell.
