In laymen terms, dehydration synthesis can best be explained as the process of building something up while removing water from it. It's considered a condensation process because two molecules are condensed to form a larger molecule.

How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions related to monomers and polymers?

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!
