Best Answer

The process of joining unit molecules or monemors together to produce polymers is called dehydration synthesis. The opposite of this (breaking poymers down to monemors) is called hydrolysis. hope this helped?

Synthesis and decomposition reactions in an organism are called .?

All of the decomposition reactions in an organism taken together is called catabolism, while the synthesis reactions are called anabolism.


What is the process of putting 2 glucose together?

Maltose is formed when two glucose molecules are bond together. A water molecule is removed in this process. This type of reactions are called condensation reactions.


What are chemical reactions called that kick out water to build bigger molecules?

This is known as Dehydration Synthesis


Process by which sugar molecules can be bonded together?

Sugar molecules are bonded together by a process called dehydration synthesis.


What is the bonding together of many similar but smaller molecules called?

The bonding together of many similar but smaller molecules is called a synthesis reaction or a combination reaction.


Are anabolic reactions called synthesis reactions?

Catabolism is breaking molecules down into smaller molecules (to get energy). You can remember this if you've ever had a cat -- they break things. Anabolism is the opposite: building things up (to make useful stuff). Now look up the definition of synthesis.


When two molecules are joined together chemically a molecule of water is released this is called?

Dehydration synthesis


Are Anabolic reactions are also called synthesis reactions?

yes


Why enzymes are called hydrolytic enzymes?

Careful! Not all enzymes are hydrolytic. Hydrolytic enzymes catalyse reactions in which there is breaking of molecules (involving the participation of water molecules). There are enzymes which catalyse reactions in which molecules join together to form a larger molecule (condensation reactions)


What is it called when proteins are formed when chemical reactions join?

It is called protein synthesis.


Why are polymerization reactions sometimes called dehydrates synthesis reactions?

because water is produced as a by-product!


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.
