Why is dehydration synthesis called dehydration synthesis?
this is because dehydration is the removal of WATER while hydrolysis is the addition of water."Dehydration is a chemical reaction in which two molecules are joined covalently with the removal of an -OH (hydroxyl group) from one molecule and an -H atom from the other molecule to form H2O (water). This process is also called condensation."Biological Science: The Cell, Genetics, and Developmentby Scott Freeman"Whereas. hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which a macromolecule is split into smaller molecules by reaction with water. In biology, most hydrolysis reactions involve the splitting of polymers into monomers."Biological Science: The Cell, Genetics and Development by Scott Freeman.A good example of hydrolysis would be the break down of the foods we eat into smaller units (monomers) more readily usable by our cells to build new macromolecules (polymers) such as proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids.
Which organelle is the primary site of ATP synthesis in eukaryotic cells?
The mithochondria is the primary site of ATP synthesis in eukaryotic cells.
How is cytoplasmic division of animal cells accomplished?
Cytoplasmic division of animal cells is accomplished by the cytoplasm cells have a reaction with the nucleas. This irritates the other cells and the change then occurs with the division.
What is the site of protein synthesis in plant cells?
The site of protein synthesis in plant cells is the ribosome. When the proteins are manufactured, they will be stored in the vacuoles.
When plant cells are exposed to salt water what happens to them?
When plant cells are exposed to salt water the process of dehydration occurs. The cells die as a result of the water that is pulled out during dehydration.
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.
Why does dehydration synthesis occur?
Dehydration synthesis is the process where water is removed from a cell for the purpose of joining two cells together. It is often used to join two monosaccharides into a disaccharide.
What is the difference between condensation and hydrolysis's?
Difference Between Condensation and HydrolysisCondensationDuring Condensation two monomers join.In condensation, a hydroxyl (-OH) group is removed from one monomer and a hydrogen (-H) is removed from the other.Condensation Involves a 'dehydration synthesis' because water is removed (dehydration) and a bond is made (synthesis).The proper enzyme is needed for condensation.Macro molecules are built up in cells by condensation.HydrolysisDuring Hydrolysis, a polymer breaks down into two monomers.In hydrolysis, an -OH group from water attaches to one monomer and an -H from water attaches to other monomer.Hydrolysis involves 'hydration' (the addition of water) to break a bond (lysis)The proper enzyme is also needed for hydrolysis.Macro molecules are broken down in cells by hydrolysis

What are some examples of exchange and synthesis reactions in the body?
Exchange of CO2 for O2 in the lungs between the red blood cells and the air within the lungs, and dehydration synthesis is a form of synthesis used to store carbohydrates. By dehydrating them, the carbohydrates are able to link together and form saccharides and are stored until needed later, and when that time comes, hydrolysis is used to separate the chain.
Which process in body cells makes water?
dehydration synthesis (the process of making a polymer from monomer units , or making a greater polymer from smaller polymers)
What term identifies the reaction that breaks apart macromolecules?
hydrolysis... my biology book says that... cells dissasemble macromolecules into their constituent subunits by performing reactions that are essentailly the reverse of dehydration- a molecule of water is added instead of removed.
What is he chemical mechanism by which cells make polymers from monomers?
Dehydradtion reactions cause cells to make polymers from monomers.
How do cells regulate synthesis to conserve energy?

What do organisms contain to catalyse hydrolysis reactions in cells?

Which organelle is the primary site of ATP synthesis in eukaryotic cells?
The mithochondria is the primary site of ATP synthesis in eukaryotic cells.
