What else can I help you with?
Are proteins formed by dehydration synthesis?
No; they are formed by translation. Carbohydrates are formed by dehydration synthesis.
How do you represent a dehydration synthesis as a word equation?
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."
What molecule is released during construction of a polymer?
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.
Why are polymerization reations sometimes called dehydration synthesis reaction?
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.
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.
A polmer of thousands of simple sugars formed by dehydration synthesis?
Polysaccharides
Are proteins formed by dehydration synthesis?
No; they are formed by translation. Carbohydrates are formed by dehydration synthesis.
What happens after dehydration synthesis occurs?
Dehydration synthesis, aka condensation reactions join smaller molecules, mostly subunits of a larger molecule (e.g. nucleic acids, monosaccharides, amino acids), into larger molecules (e.g. DNA/RNA, polysaccharides, proteins) with the release of one molecule of water per bond formed between smaller subunits.
Are covalent bonds formed in dehydration synthesis?
Yes.
What is a macro molecule formed by?
A macromolecule is formed by dehydration synthesis (condensation reaction).
Formed during dehydration synthesis or condensation polymerization?
Water
When two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration synthesis reaction which type of molecule is formed?
There are a few! A double sugar is called a disaccharide. :) Lactose is one. (This is formed by the synthesis of galactose and glucose, which are monosaccharides.) Maltose is another. (It is formed by two glucose hooking up.) Sucrose is yet another. (Formed by fructose and glucose.) They are all formed through the removal of water, or dehydration synthesis. Hope this helps!!
What is disccharide?
A disaccharide is a saccharide formed from two monosaccharides by dehydration synthesis.

Why are polymerization reactions sometimes called dehydrates synthesis reactions?
because water is produced as a by-product!
