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."

"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.

Ribosomes participate in the process of?
dehydration synthesis
When two sugars are combined a water molecule is lost This process is called?
Dehydration Synthesis, also called a condensation reaction, a dehydration reaction or just condensation.
A synthesis is the formation of bonds by removing water?
No, synthesis is the breaking of bonds that forms water, while dehydration synthesis is the breaking of bonds by removing water
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 do you reverse dehydration synthesis?
the opposite of the dehydration synthesis is hydrolysis. it does the exact opposite which is to break apart a molecule by adding a water molecule.
What is the forming of macromolecules is called?
dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction
A dehydration reaction can also be called?
A dehydration reaction can be (and often is) called dehydration synthesis, as the process involves synthesizing large compounds from smaller ones by removing the water from them (hence the dehydra- )
What is the process of conversion of glucose units into starch called?
Dehydration synthesis
What is a polymerization process that forms complex carbohydrates?
The polymerization process that forms complex carbohydrates is called Dehydration Synthesis.
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 kind of reaction will join two monosaccharides to form a disaccharide and join disaccharides to form polysaccharides?
The reaction is called "Dehydration Synthesis".
What chemical reaction makes a peptide bond?
Dehydration synthesis
What is continued dehydration synthesis leading to enormous carbohydrates called?
Polysaccharides
What type of chemical reaction occurs when polymer apart by water?
Dehydration synthesis, also called condensation, is the type of reaction that builds polymers by removing water.
Are proteins formed by dehydration synthesis?
No; they are formed by translation. Carbohydrates are formed by dehydration synthesis.
Ribosomes participate in the process of?
dehydration synthesis
What is removed in dehydration synthesis What kind of bond is made by dehydration synthesis How do you break apart this bond?
Water is removed during dehydration synthesis. A covalent bond is produced by dehydration synthesis. Hydrolysis, the addition of water, can break apart this bond.
