∙ 11y agoRibonucleotide triphosphates are used as monomers for RNA synthesis because they provide energy for polymerization reactions and help drive the synthesis process forward. The incorporation of a ribonucleotide triphosphate into the growing RNA strand releases pyrophosphate, which helps drive the reaction towards completion. Additionally, ribonucleotide triphosphates are readily available in the cell due to their involvement in various cellular processes, making them suitable building blocks for RNA synthesis.
The monomers used in the synthesis of amylopectin are glucose units, while the monomers used in the synthesis of cellulose are also glucose units but arranged in a different way, forming beta-D-glucose units.
Because the atoms removed from the monomers combine to form water.
No, dehydration synthesis joins monomers together to form a larger molecule by removing a water molecule. It is the opposite process of hydrolysis, which breaks down larger molecules into monomers by adding water.
The synthesis reaction you're referring to is called a dehydration synthesis reaction. In this process, a water molecule is removed when two monomers join together to form a larger molecule. This reaction is commonly seen in the formation of macromolecules like proteins and carbohydrates.
Monomers are not joined together by the process of hydrolysis. Dehydration synthesis, or condensation reaction is the process of chemically joining monomers.

Polymers of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are all synthesized from monomers through the process of dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction. In this process, monomers are joined together by removing a water molecule, which forms a covalent bond between the monomers, resulting in the formation of a polymer.
Dehydration synthesis.

As monomers are added, water is being taken out.
Hydrolysis is the reaction that converts a polymer to its monomer by breaking the bonds between monomers through the addition of water molecules. This process is the reverse of dehydration synthesis, which joins monomers to form a polymer by removing water molecules.
Polymerization is the synthesis process that joins two monomers together to form a polymer. This process can occur through various mechanisms, such as addition polymerization, condensation polymerization, or ring-opening polymerization.
