Dehydration synthesis links two monomers by removing a water from two adjacent hydroxyl groups (-OH); Hydrolysis is the opposite, inserting a water into a polymer to break it up into its monomers.

When your body is queued by insulin, it removes glucose from the bloodstream and stores it as the molecule glycogen (animal starch) - many glucose are linked together into a chain through dehydration synthesis.
