What is it called when 2 subunits are joined enzymes remove an H from one monomer and an OH from another releasing a water molecule?
dehydration synthesis
What is the process of joining monomers together by removing a hydrogen from one monomer and a hydroxyl group from another?
Condensation.
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.
What does the term monomer refer to?
A monomer is a molecule that can bond to other monomer molecules to form polymers.
What is one molecule called that makes up the links in a polymer chain?
a monomer.

dehydration synthesis
In plants a storage product that results from dehydration synthesis of many glucose molecules?
starch is the monomer of glusose and dehydration synthesis combines monomers
What happen to monomers when they undergo dehydration synthesis.?
Monomers become chemically bonded to one another when they undergo dehydration synthesis and form dimers, or polymers. During dehydration synthesis, one monomer loses an H atom, and the other loses an OH group, which will form a molecule of water, which is why it is called a dehydration synthesis. A larger molecule will be synthesized with a loss of a water molecule. One example is the dehydration synthesis that occurs between the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, which yields the disaccharide sucrose (table sugar), and a molecule of water. Refer to the related link for an illustration.
Which reaction dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis converts a polymer to its monomer?
Hydrolysis converts polymers to monomers by adding H2O between each monomer. In dehydration synthesis, the opposite occurs. As the name implies, water is removed in order to bond the monomers.
Combining a molecule of glucose with a molecule of fructose to make a larger molecule of sucrose is an example of?
I hope this is what you are looking for! When you combine two monomers (an individual building block, e.g. a molecule of fructose) to make a polymer (the linked chain made of the monomers) you go through a process called dehydration reaction, or dehydration synthesis. In dehydration synthesis one molecule of water is taken out from the monomers which combines them together. An unlinked monomer (e.g. the molecule of fructose and glucose) will have a hydroxyl group at one end (-OH) and a hydrogen atom at the other end (-H). When you take out the water (H20) you form a covalent bond between the end of one monomer, and the beginning of the next - linking the two monomers

What are the hydrolytic breakdown products of protein hydrolysis?
Hydrolysis is the opposite of dehydration synthesis- water is added. A hydrogen* (H) joins to a monomer and a hydroxyl* (OH) joins to the adjacent monomer.
The process of forming a larger molecule from its monomer is called what?
Many terms can describe this process. The reactions involved are called dehydration synthesis (aka condensation) reactions or more specifically polymerization reactions. However the process can be called an anabolic process.
Which process in body cells makes water?
dehydration synthesis (the process of making a polymer from monomer units , or making a greater polymer from smaller polymers)
What are polymerizations reactions sometimes called dehydration synthesis reactions?
In polymerization reactions, one monomer loses an OH group and the other loses an H atom, which combine to form water, and the monomers combine chemically to one another. See the related link for an illustration of two amino acids combining in a dehydration synthesis reaction.
What does the term monomer refer to?
A monomer is a molecule that can bond to other monomer molecules to form polymers.
