Yes, monomers are connected by a reaction in which two molecules are covalently bonded to each other through loss of a water molecule; this is known as condensation reaction, specifically a dehydration reaction. There are other mechanisms and reactions to make polymers though. Dehydration is just one of them but not the only one. A poly-alcohol reacting with a poly-acid with removal of water (dehydration) will produce a polyester for example.

∙ 13y agoNo. Dehydration synthesis is thought to be a method by which monomers on the early earth were abiotically converted to polymers.
Conversion of polymers to monomers is the inverse chemical process of dehydration and is called hydrolysis.

What is the comparison in a polymer and a monomer?
Linking bonds, most often dehydration reactions, where atoms/molecules are removed from certain ends of the monomers, forming an H2O molecule (water) and the monomers then join up. However, that is a general formula.
What chemical reaction can be used to make a liquid less alkaline?
This chemical reaction is called neutralization.
How do you make a chemical reaction bang?

To make a chemical reaction occur the activation energy is the energy that?
initiates the reaction
Is making caramel sauce a chemical reaction?
yes it is and pouring chocolate sauce in to milk to make chocolate milk is not a chemical reaction.
What is the chemical reaction of monomers add to make polymer?
This reaction is called polymerization.
What type of reaction and resulting bond links monosaccharides together to form a polysaccharide?
Monosaccharides are combined to make disaccharides and polysaccharides through dehydration synthesis, which is an anabolic reaction that requires energy to build the bonds, and water is removed from the bonds and released into the environment.
What is a chemical reaction used by cells to make proteins nucleic acids and polysaccharides in which smaller molecules are joined together by removing an H and an OH to make a water molecule?
This reaction is a dehydration synthesis.
How do polymers form?
monomers are the small atoms or molecules which joint covalently to form polymers,,,,,,,this process of polymer formation is called polymerizatin,,,,,,,,polymerization is of two types,,,,,1.addition polymerizatin2.condensation polymerization.

What is the difference between dehydration synthesis and dehydration reaction?
dehydration synthesis is the joining of substrates to make a bigger compound and dehydration is when a large compound goes into an enzyme and breaks it down into smaller pieces.
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.
Can you make a sentence using chemical reaction?
I got a chemical reaction in the science lab today.
What chemical reaction can be used to make a liquid less alkaline?
This chemical reaction is called neutralization.
Based on the function of dna polymerase explain why each part of the name dna polymerase make sense?
means it's an enzyme - so it catalyzes a chemical reaction polymer- means it catalyzes the formation of a polymer DNA- means the polymer whose formation it catalyzes is DNA - DNA is a polynucleotide (a polymer of nucleotides, a million nucleotides strung together)
What is synthesis of water?
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. "The joining of two molecules associated with the removal of a water molecule" -Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology 7th ed.
How do chemical reaction starts?
when you eat wheatabix and jelly babies, they mix and explode to make a chemical reaction.
