[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
Polymers of polysaccharides, fats, and proteins are all synthesized from monomers by:
|
|
Connecting monosaccharides together
|
|
|
The addition of water to each monomer
|
|
|
The removal of water (dehydration synthesis)
|
|
|
Ionic bonding of the monomers
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Another example of dehydration synthesis is the formation of polysaccharides.
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.
