Answer:

a) Dehydration

b) water (H2O)

Explanation:

Polymers are large complex substances that arise from the joining of smaller simpler units called Monomers. A monomer is joined together by a covalent bond, to form a polymer molecule. However, this process usually accompanies the loss of a water molecule due to the hydrogen (H+) and hydroxyll (OH-) ions that is contributed by each monomer unit. Hence, this process is called a DEHYDRATION REACTION.

For example, glucose moleculea as monomer units combine together in a dehydration reaction to form larger polymers such as starch, glucose etc.

When water is distilled, any solutes dissolved in the water are left behind. Is distilled water hypertonic or hypotonic compared
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Hypotonic

Explanation:

Tap water contains a lot of solutes and ions that are absent in distilled water. The solution that has more solutes (more dissolved solids) will be the <em>hypertonic</em> solution.

Here, distilled water has no solutes, making it <em>hypotonic</em>.
