  • C. Three
  • D. Four

Explanation

Polymerization reactions are of two types; condensation and addition polymerization. Condensation polymerization involves combination of two monomers with loss of a group, such as water or ammonia. Addition polymerization involves breaking of double bonds as two monomers combine, eg. the polymerization of ethene to form polyethene.

About Biological Molecules

The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
