What is lost each time a monomer is combined?

In the molecular world, the small subunits that ultimately link together to form larger molecules are called monomers, which literally means "single unit" (mono = one). When a bunch of monomers join together into a much larger molecule, they form a polymer, meaning "many units" (poly = many).

There is a process by which this joining usually occurs, called dehydration synthesis. Two monomers line up next to each other, and just when you think they’re going to start line dancing, a hydrogen (H) from one monomer binds with a hydroxyl group (OH) from another monomer, and voilà! A water molecule is born: H+ + OH- = H2O.

Sometimes the thing that is being removed is the water molecule because the system is called the dehydration synthesis.

They do not produce gametes so they cannot reproduce sexually. They need to reproduce asexually. There are numerous asexual reproduction types. Some include: binary fission and budding
