Remember that the dehydration (or condentation) reactions builds nutrients. It is the hydrolysis reactions that break them down though digestion. In a carbohydrate, many monomers or monosaccharides join together, the carboxyl group with the hydroxyl group bond and produce a molecule of water in a glycosidic linkage.
