In polymerization reactions, one monomer loses an OH group and the other loses an H atom, which combine to form water, and the monomers combine chemically to one another.
See the related link for an illustration of two amino acids combining in a dehydration synthesis reaction.
Dehydration reactions typically do not require ATP because they involve the removal of water molecules to form new bonds. However, some dehydration reactions that involve the synthesis of complex molecules may require ATP as an energy source for the process.
if a condensation reaction involves loss of water, ONLY then it is known to a dehydration. however, there are reactions which may involve loss of carbon dioxide or ammonia, and are then not considered to be dehydration
because water is produced as a by-product!
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.
dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules. hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.
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.
Oxidising - reducing reactions are important for the synthesis and breakdown of biological molecules?
A condensation reaction (aka dehydration synthesis).
The formation of lipids is performed using dehydration synthesis reactions.
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!
Water is an inorganic substance that is always produced as a product of dehydration synthesis reactions. This process involves removing water molecules to form larger molecules.
