Question

Knocking down a building and creating individual pieces of wood and brick would be analogous (similar) to

a polymer to monomers

momomer to polymers

dimers to monomers

polymers to multimers

Answer 1

I assume it is a polymer to monomer. Although the analogy does not appear to be quite valid.

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure is supposed to be polymers (the building) to monomers (the pieces). This, is, however, a bad analogy.
