They will break up into smaller molecules.


What happen to monomers when they undergo dehydration synthesis.?

Monomers become chemically bonded to one another when they undergo dehydration synthesis and form dimers, or polymers. During dehydration synthesis, one monomer loses an H atom, and the other loses an OH group, which will form a molecule of water, which is why it is called a dehydration synthesis. A larger molecule will be synthesized with a loss of a water molecule. One example is the dehydration synthesis that occurs between the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, which yields the disaccharide sucrose (table sugar), and a molecule of water. Refer to the related link for an illustration.


What happen to monomers when they undergo dehydration sythesis?

They form long chain- like molecules


When two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration synthesis reaction which type of molecule is formed?

There are a few! A double sugar is called a disaccharide. :) Lactose is one. (This is formed by the synthesis of galactose and glucose, which are monosaccharides.) Maltose is another. (It is formed by two glucose hooking up.) Sucrose is yet another. (Formed by fructose and glucose.) They are all formed through the removal of water, or dehydration synthesis. Hope this helps!!


Why does a cell need to break down polymers into monomers?

Because macromolecules are large molecules and are insoluble. It is easier to store them and use them when they have been hydrolysed to smaller molecules and are made soluble.


What is the chemical reaction that occurs among the monomers of simple sugar?

Monomers in plants undergo the 'Dehydration process' (Removal of water molecule) and an oxygen bridge is formed between two simple sugar units this linkage is known as the 'glycosidic linkage'.


Which type of reaction will an alkene not undergo?

dehydration


What is meant by dehydration reaction?

It depends on the type of initial compound. For ether, for example, elevated temperature, with sulphuric acid as a catalyst is sufficient. Please see the first link for mentions of some of the compounds that undergo dehydration, then follow the links for the products of the dehydration reactions for information about their synthesis by dehydration.
