Which reaction is needed to form fat molecules?
A
Dehydration
B
Hydration
C
Hydrolysis
D
Dehydrogenation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polymerization reactions are good examples of dehydration synthesis reactions in which monomer units condense together to form polymers. Formation of disaccharides from monosaccharides in carbohydrates, the formation of lipids with one glycerol and three molecules of fatty acids are examples of dehydration synthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is the result of a dehydration reaction? Dehydration synthesis leads to the formation of polymers from small monomers where monomers are combined together by the removal of small molecules such as water. Dehydration reaction results in the formation of a covalent bond.
