Polysaccharide
No; they are formed by translation. Carbohydrates are formed by dehydration synthesis.
A dehydration synthesis is represented as a word equation by stating the reactants and the product formed. For example, the word equation for the dehydration synthesis of glucose and fructose to form sucrose is "glucose + fructose → sucrose + water."
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.
During the construction of a polymer, a molecule of water is typically released in a process called dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction. This reaction links monomer units together to form a polymer chain by removing a water molecule for each bond formed between the monomers.
Many polymer are formed by the elimination of a water molecule when two monomers bond, thus it is referred to as dehydration.
Polysaccharides
No; they are formed by translation. Carbohydrates are formed by dehydration synthesis.
After dehydration synthesis, two molecules are linked together by the removal of a water molecule. This process forms a larger molecule, such as a polymer or macromolecule. It is an essential process in the formation of complex biological molecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Yes.
A macromolecule is formed by dehydration synthesis (condensation reaction).
Water
When two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration synthesis reaction, a disaccharide molecule is formed. This type of reaction involves the removal of a water molecule, leading to the joining of the monosaccharides through a glycosidic bond.
A disaccharide is a saccharide formed from two monosaccharides by dehydration synthesis.
A dehydration synthesis is represented as a word equation by stating the reactants and the product formed. For example, the word equation for the dehydration synthesis of glucose and fructose to form sucrose is "glucose + fructose → sucrose + water."

Dehydration synthesis cannot be reversed directly. To break down the molecules formed during dehydration synthesis, a hydrolysis reaction is required. This involves adding water to break the bonds between the molecules and return them to their original components.
