Are dehydration reactions used to form triglycerides?
YES.
Why is sulfuric acid rather than hydrochloric acid used to catalyze the dehydration of alcohols?
in a dehydration the alcohol becomes charged (R-OH2+) then it can leave (a double bond is formed) the acid provides the extra H+ for the alcohol. then the resulting anion (HSO4- or H2PO4-) can do the elimination reaction creating the double bond. HCL still provides the H+and still could do the elimination, but could also (more likely) just substitute giving R-Cl and not the double bond desired.
What alcohol is used for washing clothing?

YES.
When is dehydration synthesis used by your body?
to create polymers
When polymers are built the process is called dehydration reaction . Why is the word dehydration used?
Many polymer are formed by the elimination of a water molecule when two monomers bond, thus it is referred to as dehydration.
