In dehydration synthesis reactions, compounds
gain water
An example of a condensation reaction is the formation of a peptide bond between two amino acids during protein synthesis. This reaction involves the loss of a water molecule and the joining of the amino acids to form a dipeptide.
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.
Monomers combine together to form a polymer by the addition of water. The H20 molecule connects to the end of a monomer and is connected to the other monomer by the oxygen atom. This ability allows monomers to join together to form long chains. Hope that helped, good luck!
The type of chemical reaction described is called a dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction. It involves the joining of two molecules to form a larger molecule, with the release of a water molecule as a byproduct. This process is commonly seen in the formation of biological macromolecules like proteins and carbohydrates.
The process of making large molecules from smaller ones is called polymerization. This involves joining smaller molecules (monomers) together in a repeating pattern to form a larger molecule (polymer).
When joining individual glucose monomers together to form a polysaccharide like starch or glycogen, a water molecule is removed in a condensation reaction to form a glycosidic bond.
Condensation.
Monomers are not joined together by the process of hydrolysis. Dehydration synthesis, or condensation reaction is the process of chemically joining monomers.
Polymers are chemical substances which are made up from smaller units, called monomers. The reaction of joining these monomers to form this larger unit is called polymerisation. (monomers polymerise into polymers). The subunits, or polymers, are typical of the chemical substances. For example, the monomers of proteins are amino acids, monomers of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides. The reaction itself, by what these monomers are joining together, is a dehydration or condensation reaction.
The chemical reaction used to synthesize macromolecules like polypeptides and starch is called dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction. This reaction involves joining monomers together by removing a water molecule to form a covalent bond between them.
When the condensation reaction joins two amino acids a dipeptide and a water molecule form.

No, a neutralization reaction is not the same as a condensation reaction. A neutralization reaction typically involves an acid reacting with a base to produce water and a salt, while a condensation reaction involves the joining of two molecules with the elimination of a small molecule, often water. These reactions serve different purposes and occur under different conditions in chemistry.
Polymerization is a type of addition reaction because it involves the joining of small molecular units, called monomers, to form larger polymer chains without the loss of any small molecules. In this process, the double bonds or other reactive functional groups in the monomers open up and create new bonds with adjacent monomers, resulting in an extended structure. This characteristic distinguishes addition reactions from other types, such as condensation reactions, where small molecules are eliminated. Thus, polymerization exemplifies the fundamental principles of addition reactions in organic chemistry.

monomers
The bond joining monomers of starch is a glycosidic bond. It forms between the hydroxyl group of one glucose molecule and the anomeric carbon atom of another glucose molecule, resulting in a covalent linkage between the monomers.
