What is a macro molecule formed by?
A macromolecule is formed by dehydration synthesis (condensation reaction).
What is the name of the chemical reaction which combines monomers to make polymers?
Simply - polymerization. However, this is usually addition polymerization but not always. Nylon is formed by condensation polymerization and the polymers used to make waterbased latex paints is usually called emulsion polymerization.
What is the process that makes polymers?
Polysaccharides are formed by the condensation of individual monosaccharides - in the process glycosidic bonds are formed and one molecule of water is released per bond. This is a dehydration synthesis. Formation of proteins by the joining of individual amino acids via peptide bonds is also a dehydration synthesis with one molecule of water being produced per peptide bond.
What is the type of reaction that occurs when complex molecules are formed from simpler molecules and water is removed?
The condensation polymerization takes place by removal of water molecules from organic molecules as formation of Bakelite , Terylene and Nylon. in plants starch is also formed by this mechanism from Glucose molecules.
Are proteins formed by dehydration synthesis?
No; they are formed by translation. Carbohydrates are formed by dehydration synthesis.
How are covalent linkages in organic polymers formed and broken?
• Condensation or dehydration synthesis reactions. • Monomers are covalently linked to one another through the removal of water.
When synthesizing a polymer a condensation reaction is formed by the joining of monomers?
In dehydration synthesis reactions, compounds gain water
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 is formed by the dehydra tion synthesis of three fatty acids and glycerol?
Dehydration synthesis is a generalized form for a condensation reaction. During a condensation reaction, glycerol and 3 fatty acid tails come together to form a triglyceride.
What chemical reaction occurs to form disaccharides?
A disaccharide is formed when two monosaccharides are joined together by a reaction known as a dehydration, or condensation, synthesis. In this type of reaction water is removed, thus the name "dehydration". A new molecule is formed or "synthesized" from the two previously separate ones.
How can be dehydration synthesis reversed?
In chemistry, condensation reactions are when covalent bonds are formed between molecules and a water molecule is generated as a byproduct. The reverse of this process is hydrolysis, whereby water is consumed in order to cleave a covalent bond.
What is the product of joining 2 glucose molecules?
When you link two glucose molecules together you are going through dehydration synthesis which is getting rid of the water in the molecules and by doing that you have water, H2O, as the by-product.
