Best Answer

A reaction that involves the formation and removal of a molecule of water is called a condensation reaction.

An example:

Two glucose molecules combine. One sheds a hydroxyl group (-OH) and the other loses an atom of hydrogen (-H). These form water. The two glucose residues combine to form a molecule of maltose.

(Glucose molecules can combine in other ways to form other products.)

A condensation reaction always makes water as a product. For instance, joining two amino acids together to make a peptide bond makes water as well.

What is involved in photosenthesis?

The answer to this question is very in-depth. In a nutshell: the plant absorbs carbon dioxide through the stoma (small holes) on the bottom of the leaves. Light strikes chlorophyll molecules in the leaves, causing a reaction that splits a water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen joins to carbon dioxide, creating carbohydrates, and the oxygen is released into the atmosphere.
