Which reaction dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis converts a polymer to its monomer?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
Hydrolysis converts polymers to monomers by adding H2O between each monomer.
In dehydration synthesis, the opposite occurs. As the name implies, water is removed in order to bond the monomers.

What chemical reaction form polysaccharides?
Dehydration reaction because it removes the water.
What is a chemical reaction used by cells to make proteins nucleic acids and polysaccharides in which smaller molecules are joined together by removing an H and an OH to make a water molecule?
This reaction is a dehydration synthesis.
Does Hydrolysis or dehydration produce water as a byproduct?
Hydrolysis uses water in the reaction and dehydration removes it. The answer is dehydration.
What is the difference between dehydration reaction and hydrolysis reaction?
In dehydration, water molecules are removed. Hydrolysis is the opposite of this. In hydrolization, water molecules are combined.
What chemical reaction makes a peptide bond?
Dehydration synthesis
What reaction is the opposite of hydrolysis?
Dehydration Synthesis
What is Opposite of a decomposition reaction?
Dehydration Synthesis
What reaction is used to break down polymers. is water added or removed. how does this compare to dehydration synthesis?
A hydrolysis reaction. Water is added. Dehydration synthesis is when two water molecules join together. Hydrolysis is the separation of two water molecules.
What chemical reaction form polysaccharides?
Dehydration reaction because it removes the 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.
What type of reaction breaks covalent bonds by the addition of water molecules?
A hydrolysis reaction is a reaction that breaks covalent bonds by the addition of water molecules.
What is a chemical reaction used by cells to make proteins nucleic acids and polysaccharides in which smaller molecules are joined together by removing an H and an OH to make a water molecule?
This reaction is a dehydration synthesis.
Does Hydrolysis or dehydration produce water as a byproduct?
Hydrolysis uses water in the reaction and dehydration removes it. The answer is dehydration.
What is synthesis of water?
The chemical process by which a molecule of water is removed from the reactants to join the reactants together. Dehydration synthesis takes place when the monomers of organic compounds join together by a chemical reaction to make polymers. Hydrolysis its the opposite reaction of breaking up polymers and is accomplished also by chemical reaction.

What is the difference between dehydration reaction and hydrolysis reaction?
In dehydration, water molecules are removed. Hydrolysis is the opposite of this. In hydrolization, water molecules are combined.
What monomers are produced from hydrolysis?
Monomers are not joined together by the process of hydrolysis. Dehydration synthesis, or condensation reaction is the process of chemically joining monomers.
Process is happening in this reaction?
Dehydration. hydrolysis
