Yes! Dehydration is the combining of two or more molecules while producing water. Hydrolysis is the addition of water to a molecule to split it up into smaller molecules. Hydrolysis is to Degradation as Dehydration is to Synthesis. Matter of fact, it is usually called Dehydration Synthesis!

How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis related?

They are (generally) opposite reactions. Dehydration (condensation) reactions build polymers from monomers by removing water while hydrolysis reactions break polymers into monomers by adding water.


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.


Does dehydration synthesis convert molecule to monomer?

No, dehydration synthesis joins monomers together to form a larger molecule by removing a water molecule. It is the opposite process of hydrolysis, which breaks down larger molecules into monomers by adding water.


Is water released when a peptide bond between two amino acids is broken?

No, a water molecule is released during condensation(dehydration) reactions. There are two opposite reactions: hydrolysis and condensation. Hydrolysis breaks apart polymers into monomers. In the process, water molecules are broken apart to "cap" the ends of the monomers. In condensation reactions, two monomers are joined and a molecule of water is formed and removed.


How are the processes of dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis related to the organic compuounds such as carbohydrates lipids and proteins?

The process of dehydration, synthesis and hydrolysis are related to the organic compounds such as the carbohydrates, lipids and proteins because they are involved in their digestion, egestion and storage.

How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions related?

dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules. hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.


What chemical reactions are important for the synthesis and breakdown of biological molecules?

Oxidising - reducing reactions are important for the synthesis and breakdown of biological molecules?


Which reaction dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis converts a polymer to its monomer?

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 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.


What two processes are necessary to build or separate macromolecules?

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.


Does dehydration synthesis convert molecule to monomer?

No, dehydration synthesis joins monomers together to form a larger molecule by removing a water molecule. It is the opposite process of hydrolysis, which breaks down larger molecules into monomers by adding water.


Polymers of carbohydrates fats and proteins are all synthesized from monomers by which process?

Polymers of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are all synthesized from monomers through the process of dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction. In this process, monomers are joined together by removing a water molecule, which forms a covalent bond between the monomers, resulting in the formation of a polymer.

What do monomers and polymers have to do with photosynthesis?

Monomers come together to form polymers through dehydration condensation and polymers split apart from monomers through hydrolysis.


What reaction turn polymers into monomers?

The simple one word answer is polymerization. There are a number of methods of achieving this. One method is dehydration synthesis in which for example a poly alcohol is reacted with a polyacid to form a polyester and water. Another would be addition polymerization which can be achieved by use of an intiator or even UV light.Dehydration synthesis turns monomers into polymers.Monomers are broken up through hydrolysis reactions. This is when the monomers break and are "capped" with a hydrogen or a hydroxyl (if not, then such molecules can do damage to the body). This process is aided by enzymes (proteins) which catalyze the reactions.
