Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Anabolic process that joins small molecules and releases water as a by-product of the reaction; synthesis reaction
A
Hydrolysis reaction
B
Synthesis reaction
C
Dehydration synthesis
D
Dehydration reaction
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: -The products of dehydration synthesis are polymers. Dehydration synthesis is a reaction in which two or monomers are combined through the removal of water. They are an important type of chemical reaction for living organisms since they produce many important biological polymers like proteins and polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
