The process of removing water in order to form a bond between monomers is called ____
|
|
Dehydration Synthesis
|
|
|
Hydrolysis
|
|
|
Either A or B
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The monomers combine with each other using covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. In doing so, monomers release water molecules as byproducts. This type of reaction is known as dehydration synthesis, which means “to put together while losing water.”
Detailed explanation-2: -In a dehydration synthesis reaction between two un-ionized monomers, such as monosaccharide sugars, the hydrogen of one monomer combines with the hydroxyl group of another monomer, releasing a molecule of water in the process.
