Why is the joining of four glucose molecules to form a polysaccaride an example of dehydration synthesis?

It is dehydration because it is a carbohydrate,it is synthesised because it is a bunch of mono saccarides put together

∙ 12y agoWhen two monosaccharides join together, water is released. This is known as a dehydration reaction. It is called synthesis because a disaccharide is being synthesised (created).

Is an example of dehydration synthesis?
An example of dehydration synthesis would be two monosaccharide's joining together. For example, glucose and fructose. Another word for synthesis is combination.
Is anion an example of anabolism?
In a dehydration, which is also called a condensation reaction, water molecules are being removed and new bonds are forming(peptide linkages, glycosydic linkages and ester linkages), therefore it is an anabolic reaction.
How can you tell if a chemical equation represents condensation synthesis?
When a water molecule is being taken from the equation, that represents condensation synthesis, also known as dehydration synthesis. When a water molecule is being added to the equation, it represents hydrolysis.
What chemical reaction combines smaller molecules into larger molecules?
Synthesis or direct combination are common general chemistry reactions that take smaller substances, e.g. Elements in their elemental states, or small compounds, and react them to form a larger compound. A good example is sulfur dioxide plus water yields sulfurous acid, H2SO3, a component of acid rain. In biochemistry or biology classes, reactions involving carbohydrates, monomers, called monosaccharides( like glucose and fructose)combine by dehydration synthesis to form a disaccharide, like sucrose, table sugar. Amino acids can perform a dehydration synthesis reaction to form dipeptides, polypeptides, and proteins. Those types of reactions yield one molecule of water for every reaction though while forming much larger compounds.
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.

Can enzymes catalyze dehydration synthesis?
Yes. For example, FabZ catalyzes the dehydration of beta-hydroxyacyl-ACP to trans-2-acyl-ACP.
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 occurs when two glucose molecules are chemically bonded and form of maltose?
The process known as dehydration synthesis occurs to join two glucose molucules. As they join, an OH- molecule joins with a Hydrogen to form H20 ( water). The water molecule leaves the new maltose molecule.
Which of these is an example of polysaccaride?
Cellulose.
Is dehydration synthesis endergonic or exergonic?
Dehydration synthesis is the joining of two compounds due to the loss of a water molecule between them. It is an example of an endergonic process, which uses energy for the process to occur.
Is anion an example of anabolism?
In a dehydration, which is also called a condensation reaction, water molecules are being removed and new bonds are forming(peptide linkages, glycosydic linkages and ester linkages), therefore it is an anabolic reaction.
Is a potato a monosaccharide disaccharide or polysaccharide?
um.....a potato isn't any of those. A saccharide is a sugar, and a monosaccharide is one sugar that is not bonded, such as galactose, glucose, or fructose (which are the three main monosaccharides, and are isomeric). A disaccharide is two monosaccharides bonded together, usually using dehydration synthesis. An example would be maltose, which is C12H24O12, or two glucose molecules. A polysaccaride is a lot of monosaccharides bonded together such as starch. So a potato is none of those.
Is break down of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen molecules is a example of synthesis reaction?
No .. this would be termed as electrolysis. Synthesis is another name for combination reactions
Name the reactions that is an example of an anabolic reaction?
Cholesterol synthesis from acetyl CoA molecules
What chemical process changes a monosaccharide into a disaccharide?
Hydrolysis - Breaking down complex molecules by the chemical addition of water
Describe the role of water in a dehydration reaction?
Dehydration synthesis is when two molecules are chained together and a water molecule is ejected from the coupling. A hydrolysis reaction is when a water molecule is split and the coupling between two molecules is also split. Dehydration synthesis is the reverse reaction of hydrolysis, and vice versa.
