The correct answer is; "Assembling molecules in either hydroxyl or carboxyl functional groups"

Polymers are formed from monomers either by condensation or by addition of monomers.

A polymer is formed by the joining of one or more monomers. This can happen in either of the following ways;

  • condensation
  • addition

Condensation polymerization involves the loss of a small molecule. When the molecule that is lost is water, we can call it dehydration. Loss of molecules does not occur in addition polymerization.

The two monomer molecules that join to yield the polymer by dehydration must have H and OH moieties in suitable positions for dehydration to occur. A typical example is assembling molecules in either hydroxyl or carboxyl functional groups.

For more about condensation polymerization, see

If earth tides decreased what would be the most likely explanation?
WINSTONCH [101]
<span>If the earth tides are decreased, the explanation would likely be: the gravitational attraction decreases as the earth moved farther from the sun, thus, affecting the tide. On the other hand, if the gravitational pull increases, it would mean that the earth tide would also increase. Remember, the two major factors that influences earth tides are: gravitational pull of the moon and of course, the sun.</span>
