Are proteins formed by dehydration synthesis?
No; they are formed by translation. Carbohydrates are formed by dehydration synthesis.
Why are polymerization reations sometimes called dehydration synthesis reaction?
Not all polymerisations can be called dehydration synthesis reactions. However it is a very common way in which polymers can be formed. One way monomer units can join together is by eliminating a small molecule such as water between them, hence dehydration. (Condensation is more usual). Synthesis means building up, so the polymer is built up by losing water.
When polymers are built the process is called dehydration reaction . Why is the word dehydration used?
Many polymer are formed by the elimination of a water molecule when two monomers bond, thus it is referred to as dehydration.
How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions related to monomers and polymers?
Yes! Dehydration is the combining of two or more molecules while producing water. Hydrolysis is the addition of water to a molecule to split it up into smaller molecules. Hydrolysis is to Degradation as Dehydration is to Synthesis. Matter of fact, it is usually called Dehydration Synthesis!
How is dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis similar?
dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules. hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.
A polmer of thousands of simple sugars formed by dehydration synthesis?
Polysaccharides
Are proteins formed by dehydration synthesis?
No; they are formed by translation. Carbohydrates are formed by dehydration synthesis.
What happens after dehydration synthesis occurs?
Dehydration synthesis, aka condensation reactions join smaller molecules, mostly subunits of a larger molecule (e.g. nucleic acids, monosaccharides, amino acids), into larger molecules (e.g. DNA/RNA, polysaccharides, proteins) with the release of one molecule of water per bond formed between smaller subunits.
When synthesizing a polymer a condensation reaction is formed by the joining of monomers?
In dehydration synthesis reactions, compounds gain water
Are covalent bonds formed in dehydration synthesis?
Yes.
When two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration synthesis reaction which type of molecule is formed?
There are a few! A double sugar is called a disaccharide. :) Lactose is one. (This is formed by the synthesis of galactose and glucose, which are monosaccharides.) Maltose is another. (It is formed by two glucose hooking up.) Sucrose is yet another. (Formed by fructose and glucose.) They are all formed through the removal of water, or dehydration synthesis. Hope this helps!!
What is a macro molecule formed by?
A macromolecule is formed by dehydration synthesis (condensation reaction).
Formed during dehydration synthesis or condensation polymerization?
Water
What is disccharide?
A disaccharide is a saccharide formed from two monosaccharides by dehydration synthesis.

What kind of bond is formed in dehydration synthesis?
Dehydration synthesis occurs primarily between organic molecules. Organic molecules are made of almost exclusively nonmetals. Therefore the bond is covalent.
When does a disccharide form?
A disaccharide is formed from two monosaccharides by a reaction called dehydration synthesis.
