monosaccharides are joined together
Remember that the dehydration (or condentation) reactions builds nutrients. It is the hydrolysis reactions that break them down though digestion. In a carbohydrate, many monomers or monosaccharides join together, the carboxyl group with the hydroxyl group bond and produce a molecule of water in a glycosidic linkage.
A dehydration reaction can be (and often is) called dehydration synthesis, as the process involves synthesizing large compounds from smaller ones by removing the water from them (hence the dehydra- )
Dehydration synthesis is a specific type of chemical reaction where molecules combine to form a larger molecule with the removal of water. Dehydration reaction is a broader term that encompasses any chemical reaction where water is removed from reacting molecules, which could include dehydration synthesis but also other types of reactions.
Continued dehydration synthesis leading to the formation of large carbohydrates is called polysaccharide synthesis. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates consisting of multiple monosaccharide units linked together through glycosidic bonds. Examples of polysaccharides include starch, cellulose, and glycogen.
The process of dehydration, synthesis and hydrolysis are related to the organic compounds such as the carbohydrates, lipids and proteins because they are involved in their digestion, egestion and storage.
Dehydration synthesis involves the removal of a water molecule to join smaller molecules together to form a larger molecule. It is a process that forms complex molecules like carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids by linking monomers together through covalent bonds.
The general term is "condensation reaction." "Dehydration reaction" is also appropriate.
Anabolic reactions build large molecules from smaller and simpler molecules through processes like dehydration synthesis. These reactions require energy input to form bonds and create complex molecules used for growth, repair, and energy storage in organisms.
The chemical process by which a molecule of water is removed from the reactants to join the reactants together. Dehydration synthesis takes place when the monomers of organic compounds join together by a chemical reaction to make polymers. Hydrolysis its the opposite reaction of breaking up polymers and is accomplished also by chemical reaction.

Polysaccharides are large macromolecules formed from monosaccharides through dehydration synthesis. Examples include starch, glycogen, and cellulose which serve various structural and energy storage roles in living organisms.
Glycogen, starch, and cellulose are all large carbohydrate molecules.
