A process is used to chemically link smaller units to form a larger molecule that is made up of repeating units
The properties of the larger molecule are determined by the chemical structure and the order or bonding of
the smaller units.
The student is explaining
Polymerization because monomers are joined to form a larger molecule. These units are linked together with different types of bonds depending on the class of the molecule such as carbohydrates, lipids, or proteins.
