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 are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis related?
They are (generally) opposite reactions. Dehydration (condensation) reactions build polymers from monomers by removing water while hydrolysis reactions break polymers into monomers by adding water.
What monomers are produced from hydrolysis?
Monomers are not joined together by the process of hydrolysis. Dehydration synthesis, or condensation reaction is the process of chemically joining monomers.
What reaction forms monomers?
Hydrolysis reactions forms monomers.
Is water released when a peptide bond between two amino acids is broken?
No, a water molecule is released during condensation(dehydration) reactions. There are two opposite reactions: hydrolysis and condensation. Hydrolysis breaks apart polymers into monomers. In the process, water molecules are broken apart to "cap" the ends of the monomers. In condensation reactions, two monomers are joined and a molecule of water is formed and removed.
What synthesis reaction in which water is removed from combining monomers?
Dehydration.
How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis related?
They are (generally) opposite reactions. Dehydration (condensation) reactions build polymers from monomers by removing water while hydrolysis reactions break polymers into monomers by adding water.
How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions related?
dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules. hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.
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.
Polymers of carbohydrates fats and proteins are all synthesized from monomers by which process?
the removal of water (dehydration reactions)
What monomers are produced from hydrolysis?
Monomers are not joined together by the process of hydrolysis. Dehydration synthesis, or condensation reaction is the process of chemically joining monomers.
What is the chemical reaction by which monomers are linked together to form polymers?
This type of reaction is named polymerization.
What is the name for a reaction that links monomers to form a food chain?
Dehydration synthesis is the name for a reaction that links monomers to form a chain.
What reaction forms monomers?
Hydrolysis reactions forms monomers.
How are monomers joined?
dehydration synthesis
When synthesizing a polymer a condensation reaction is formed by the joining of monomers?
In dehydration synthesis reactions, compounds gain water
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.
Is water released when a peptide bond between two amino acids is broken?
