The process that builds molecules by removing water to bind them together is
A
Hydrolysis
B
Protein Synthesis
C
Dehydration Synthesis
D
Lysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -You can remember what happens by the name of the reaction: dehydration, for the loss of the water molecule, and synthesis, for the formation of a new bond. Dehydration synthesis reaction between two molecules of glucose, forming a molecule of maltose with the release of a water molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dehydration synthesis is the creation of larger molecules from smaller monomers where a water molecule is released. This can be used in the creation of synthetic polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or the creation of large biological molecules such as carbohydrate polymers and triglycerides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Also known as a condensation reaction or a dehydration reaction, dehydration synthesis occurs when two molecules are joined by removing water. This allows for the creation of a larger molecule from two smaller molecules.
