Answer 1

#1, 2, 3 and 7 are wrong.

I would suggest looking up the definition of polymerization, polymer, protein and hydrolysis.

You got the correct idea about what a carbohydrate, nucleic acid, and a lipid is. But what is a protein?

Also the word hydrolysis should give away what the correct answer choice is. (What does the prefix hydro mean? If that doesn't help then think about the word hydrate. Does that help?)

Finally, polymerization is the process to make polymers. Hopefully that'll help you figure it out. But as I said earlier, search up these words and look up the proper definition :)

Answer 2

I'd be more than happy to check your answers once more :)
