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.
Such reactions are known as polymerization processes, they are of two types 1- addition polymerization and 2- condensation polymerization.
Monosaccharides are produced through the hydrolysis of polysaccharides, a reaction where water is added to break the glycosidic bonds linking sugar units together. This process results in the cleavage of the polymer into individual monosaccharide units. On the other hand, dehydration synthesis (or condensation) of monosaccharides forms polysaccharides by removing water to create glycosidic bonds.
Dehydration synthesis is endergonic because it requires energy
yes cause of reaction between oxygen and hydrogen
Dehydration synthesis, also called condensation, is the type of reaction that builds polymers by removing water.
The chemical reaction that links monomers together to form polymers is called polymerization. During polymerization, monomers undergo a process where their chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are formed between the monomer units, resulting in a chain-like structure of repeating units known as a polymer. This process can be initiated by heat, light, or the addition of a catalyst.
In polymerization reactions, one monomer loses an OH group and the other loses an H atom, which combine to form water, and the monomers combine chemically to one another. See the related link for an illustration of two amino acids combining in a dehydration synthesis reaction.
if a condensation reaction involves loss of water, ONLY then it is known to a dehydration. however, there are reactions which may involve loss of carbon dioxide or ammonia, and are then not considered to be dehydration
Such reactions are known as polymerization processes, they are of two types 1- addition polymerization and 2- condensation polymerization.
A dehydration reaction can be (and often is) called dehydration synthesis, as the process involves synthesizing large compounds from smaller ones by removing the water from them (hence the dehydra- )
The reaction is called "Dehydration Synthesis".

The process of linking monomers to form a food chain is known as polymerization. This involves the chemical reaction that combines monomers to form larger molecular structures called polymers, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Simply - polymerization. However, this is usually addition polymerization but not always. Nylon is formed by condensation polymerization and the polymers used to make waterbased latex paints is usually called emulsion polymerization.
