Water/ H2O
Monosaccharides combine to make disaccharides or polysaccharides through a dehydration synthesis reaction, where a water molecule is released. Examples of disaccharides include sucrose (glucose + fructose) and lactose (glucose + galactose). Examples of polysaccharides include starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
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
Dehydration Synthesis, also called a condensation reaction, a dehydration reaction or just condensation.
A synthesis is a chemical reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a more complex product. It does not necessarily involve removing water. Water can be produced as a byproduct in some synthesis reactions, but the general definition of synthesis does not refer to the removal 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.
During dehydration synthesis, two molecules combine to form a larger molecule, releasing a molecule of water as a byproduct.
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.
Because the atoms removed from the monomers combine to form water.

two substances combine to form a new substance
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.
