What is produced besides a polymer during dehydration synthesis?
Answers
Answer:
In dehydration synthesis reactions, a water molecule is formed as a result of generating a covalent bond between two monomeric components in a larger polymer. In hydrolysis reactions, a water molecule is consumed as a result of breaking the covalent bond holding together two components of a polymer
Answer:
During dehydration synthesis, a water molecule is formed besides a polymer.
Explanation:
During dehydration synthesis, one monomer's hydrogen interacts with another monomer's hydroxyl group, releasing a water molecule, or two monomers' hydrogens mix with one oxygen from the other monomer, generating a water molecule.
Complex carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and proteins are produced by dehydration synthesis.
Example: A hydroxyl group from the first glucose is joined with a hydrogen from the second glucose in the dehydration synthesis step, forming a covalent bond that joins the two monosaccharides together to form the disaccharide maltose. A water molecule is generated in the process.
