Why is condensation reactions referred to as dehydration synthesis?

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

∙ 12y agoIn 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.

Why is the endoplasmic reticulum referred to as a biosynthetic factory?
yes rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in synthesis of protein
Why is photosynthesis referred as to a biochemical pathway?
photosynthesis involves a complex series of chemical reactions, in which the product of one reaction is consumed in the next reaction. A series of reactions linked in this way is referred to as a biochemical pathway.
At one time interphase was referred to as the resting phase of the cell cycle why do you think the description is no longer used?
During interphase there is much metabolic activity. Some examples of processes that take place in interphase are: transcription and translation; DNA replication (which occurs at mid-interphase); glycolysis in the cytoplasm; aerobic respiratory reactions in mitochondria; both light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in chloroplasts; digestion in lysosomes; lipid synthesis in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum; protein processing and modification in the Golgi body. So it's not too restful between divisions!
Aggregations of fixed and free ribosomes in neurons are referred to as?
Nissl Bodies are granules of endoplasmic reticulum, with aggregations of fixed or free Ribosomes and are the site of protein synthesis.
Which phase do DNA synthesis occur?
Actually, DNA synthesis occurs in the interphase stage, after the G1 checkpoint and before the G2 checkpoint, in the synthesis period, sometimes referred to as the 'S' phase, though it is not in fact a phase of mitosis, but rather a part of the Interphase as a whole. I hope this is more helpful than the previous answer of; "nobody knows IDIOT."
What is the definition of condensation synthesis?
A condensation reaction is a chemical reaction in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule. It is also referred to as dehydration synthesis.
In what type of chemical reaction would produce a macromolecule?
These are generally referred to as polymerization reactions. They may also be called condensation reactions sometimes.
What creates a series of oxidation reduction reactions?
The respiration of glucose creates a series of oxidation reduction reactions. This is the process leads that to the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate, more commonly referred to as ATP.
When molecules of glucose and fructose combine to form sucrose What reaction allows the monomers to form polymers?

The transformation from liquid into vapor is referred to as?
condensation

What are reactions that absorb energy from the environment?
Reactions that absorb energy from the environment are referred as endothermic reactions.
The forming of water droplets and clouds in the atmosphere?
The forming of water droplets and clouds in the atmosphere is referred to as condensation.
What is it called when an animal is suffering from lack of water?
When an animal is suffering from a lack of water, it is commonly referred to as "dehydration."
What reactions are referred to as light dependent reactions?
Cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation.
When polymers are built the process is called dehydration reaction. why is the word dehydration used?
Many polymer are formed by the elimination of a water molecule when two monomers bond, thus it is referred to as dehydration.
