dehydration synthesis

polymer synthesis

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: -As additional monomers join via multiple dehydration synthesis reactions, this chain of repeating monomers begins to form a polymer. Complex carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and proteins are all examples of polymers that are formed by dehydration synthesis.
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.
