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.
monosaccharides are joined together
The general term is "condensation reaction." "Dehydration reaction" is also appropriate.

Glycogen, starch, and cellulose are all large carbohydrate molecules.
why do long distance runners need large carbohydrate stores
Polysaccharides
dehydration synthesis is the joining of substrates to make a bigger compound and dehydration is when a large compound goes into an enzyme and breaks it down into smaller pieces.
carbohydrate digestion doesn't occur in the stomach and the large intestine.
Glycogen, starch, and cellulose are all large carbohydrate molecules.
Starch :)
A dehydration reaction can be (and often is) called dehydration synthesis, as the process involves synthesizing large compounds from smaller ones by removing the water from them (hence the dehydra- )
