No. Hydrolysis is breaking apart the components of a macromolecule.
Dehydration synthesis is the synthesis of macromolecules from components of repeating units.

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.
How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions related?
dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules. hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.
Synthesis reactions where molecules in the human body are made or joined together is called what?
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?
What is the Reverse of dehydration synthesis?
hydrolysis i think
What is synthesis of water?
The chemical process by which a molecule of water is removed from the reactants to join the reactants together. Dehydration synthesis takes place when the monomers of organic compounds join together by a chemical reaction to make polymers. Hydrolysis its the opposite reaction of breaking up polymers and is accomplished also by chemical reaction. "The joining of two molecules associated with the removal of a water molecule" -Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology 7th ed.
How is dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis similar?
dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules. hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.
What reaction is used to break down polymers. is water added or removed. how does this compare to dehydration synthesis?
A hydrolysis reaction. Water is added. Dehydration synthesis is when two water molecules join together. Hydrolysis is the separation of two water molecules.
What type of reaction breaks covalent bonds by the addition of water molecules?
A hydrolysis reaction is a reaction that breaks covalent bonds by the addition of water molecules.
How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions related to monomers and polymers?
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!

What is Opposite of a decomposition reaction?
Dehydration Synthesis
Enzymes split large molecules into two or more smaller molecules by adding water through which type of reaction?
Hydrolysis is the reaction that stems from the breakdown of large molecules by the enzymatic addition of water. Hydrolysis is step leading to the degradation of the substance. It is a chemical reaction in which a molecule of water is added to a substance. At times water and the substance will split and one part of the parent molecule will receive one hydrogen ion.
