Detailed explanation-1: -During dehydration synthesis, either the hydrogen of one monomer combines with the hydroxyl group of another monomer releasing a molecule of water, or two hydrogens from one monomer combine with one oxygen from the other monomer releasing a molecule of water.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, glucose monomers are the constituents of starch, glycogen, and cellulose. These three are polysaccharides, classified as carbohydrates, that have formed as a result of multiple dehydration synthesis reactions between glucose monomers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dehydration synthesis can be defined as the synthesis reactions which involve the formation of a new compound with the elimination of water molecules. Since these reactions result in the formation of a new compound with a large structure, therefore, they are called synthesis reactions.
