Two monomers join together to form a polymer. Also two oligomers can join together and form a polymer.
monomers
It means joining two molecules together. The molecules are usually alike.
A reaction that results in the synthesis of polymers from a quantity of a single corresponding monomer is usually called "polymerization", and if there are two or more monomers that can combine with themselves as well as with each other, the reaction is better called "copolymerization". However, if there is more than one monomer and the chemical nature of the polymerization requires that the monomers alternate with each other, as in phenol-formaldehyde resins, the reaction is usually called a "condensation" reaction. It is also possible to synthesize polymers by reacting a different polymer, as in "polyvinylalcohol", which is made by hydrolyzing a polyvinyl ester, since the notional "vinyl alcohol" monomer is too unstable to use directly.
All polymers are formed from monomers joining together.
It is dehydration because it is a carbohydrate,it is synthesised because it is a bunch of mono saccarides put together
When you link two glucose molecules together you are going through dehydration synthesis which is getting rid of the water in the molecules and by doing that you have water, H2O, as the by-product.

Macromolecules are formed by a process known as polymerization, in which large compounds are built by joining smaller ones together.

a polymer
It is a synthesis reaction
glucose
I'm not aware of a specific name for simple sugar->complex carbohydrate conversion. But I know that it is a form of condensation polymerisation - when water is removed from the sugar molecules they join together to fill up vacant chemical bondsS. Syhnthesis Hydration is the process in which a water molecule is removed from two sugar molecules to bond into one complex molecule. The opposite of this process would be called Hydrolisis which would be when water molecules would be added to a complex molecule to create two simple sugar molecules.
A polymer. The smaller molecules are called monomers. For example, many glucose molecules (the monomers) linked together make a starch molecule (the polymer). Similarly, many amino acid molecules (the monomers) linked together form a protein molecule (the polymer).

Glycogen molecules can be synthesised by joining glucose units together.
