When polymers are broken down into monomers, <u>the body uses those monomers for a number of activities. Some of them include protein construction and respiration. </u>

For proteins, the monomers are amino acids. Polymerization occurs at ribosomes. Usually about 20 types of amino acid monomers are used to produce proteins.

<em>The process of polymers breaking down to monomers is called hydrolysis.</em>
