Although I have a moderately good understanding of chemistry I am unsure what you mean by "dehydration reactions".
I suspect that if you could explain to me what a dehydration reaction is you woud be well on the way to answering your own question.
I just looked it up on wikipedia. So should you!
I have learned something new... now it is time for you to do so a well.

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.
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!
What type of reaction breaks covalent bonds by the addition of water molecules?
Hydrolysis is the type of reaction that breaks covalent bonds by the addition of water molecules. In hydrolysis, a water molecule is split and its components (H and OH) are added to the atoms within the covalent bond, breaking it apart. This process is commonly involved in the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones during digestion.
Water is essential to what two biochemical reactions?
Oh, hydrolysis comes to mind as one, dehydration synthesis is the flipside of the same coin and may or may not fit your criteria. But water is essential as a catalyst to thousands if not millions of chemical reactions. A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen will not burn unless a small amount of water vapor is present.
What is the difference between dehydration reaction and hydration reaction?
In a dehydration reaction, water molecule is removed to form a larger molecule, whereas in a hydration reaction, water molecule is added to a molecule. Dehydration reactions typically result in the formation of polymers, while hydration reactions usually involve breaking down molecules into smaller units.
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 is the difference between dehydration reaction and hydrolysis reaction?
A dehydration reaction involves removing a water molecule to form a bond between two molecules, while a hydrolysis reaction breaks a bond between two molecules by adding a water molecule. Dehydration reactions are involved in building macromolecules like proteins and carbohydrates, while hydrolysis reactions are involved in breaking down these macromolecules for energy or recycling.
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 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?
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!
Are hydrolysis reactions catabolic reactions?
Yes, hydrolysis reactions are catabolic reactions because they involve breaking down complex molecules into simpler molecules through the addition of water. This process releases energy that can be used by the cell for various metabolic activities.
How can be dehydration synthesis reversed?
In chemistry, condensation reactions are when covalent bonds are formed between molecules and a water molecule is generated as a byproduct. The reverse of this process is hydrolysis, whereby water is consumed in order to cleave a covalent bond.
What type of reaction breaks covalent bonds by the addition of water molecules?

In hydrolysis, a water molecule is split and its components (H and OH) are added to the atoms within the covalent bond, breaking it apart. This process is commonly involved in the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones during digestion.
When glycogen is formed from monosaccharides it occurs by a process called hydrolysis?
No. The word hydrolysis has -lysis which means to break down. But if you are making glycogen you are building up. In this case dehydration occurs which is the opposite of hydrolysis (breaking down using water). Water is a by product in dehydration.

What do organisms contain to catalyse hydrolysis reactions in cells?
Organisms contain enzymes to catalyze hydrolysis reactions in cells. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions, such as breaking down large molecules into smaller components through hydrolysis.
