Removal of water (dehydration synthesis is used in forming lipids, polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids.
The combining of macromolecule subunits that results in the removal of water is called dehydration synthesis. This process involves joining monomers together to form polymers by removing a water molecule.
Polysaccharide
The process is called dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction. It involves the removal of a water molecule to link monomers together to form a larger macromolecule.

dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction
The two processes necessary to build or separate macromolecules are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis. Dehydration synthesis involves removing water molecules to bond monomers together and form a larger macromolecule. Hydrolysis involves adding water molecules to break down a macromolecule into individual monomers.
dehydration synthesis
No, hydrolysis is the breakdown of giant molecules into their component units by the addition of water molecules. The opposite process, where giant molecules are synthesized from repeating units, is known as condensation or dehydration synthesis.
