Polysaccharide
No; they are formed by translation. Carbohydrates are formed by dehydration synthesis.
A dehydration synthesis is represented as a word equation by stating the reactants and the product formed. For example, the word equation for the dehydration synthesis of glucose and fructose to form sucrose is "glucose + fructose → sucrose + water."
During the construction of a polymer, a molecule of water is typically released in a process called dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction. This reaction links monomer units together to form a polymer chain by removing a water molecule for each bond formed between the monomers.
Not all polymerisations can be called dehydration synthesis reactions. However it is a very common way in which polymers can be formed. One way monomer units can join together is by eliminating a small molecule such as water between them, hence dehydration. (Condensation is more usual). Synthesis means building up, so the polymer is built up by losing water.
Many polymer are formed by the elimination of a water molecule when two monomers bond, thus it is referred to as dehydration.
Polysaccharides
No; they are formed by translation. Carbohydrates are formed by dehydration synthesis.
After dehydration synthesis, two molecules are linked together by the removal of a water molecule. This process forms a larger molecule, such as a polymer or macromolecule. It is an essential process in the formation of complex biological molecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Yes.
A macromolecule is formed by dehydration synthesis (condensation reaction).
Water
When two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration synthesis reaction, a disaccharide molecule is formed. This type of reaction involves the removal of a water molecule, leading to the joining of the monosaccharides through a glycosidic bond.
A disaccharide is a saccharide formed from two monosaccharides by dehydration synthesis.

because water is produced as a by-product!
