Question

questions: 1. what is dehydration synthesis? polymerization and hydrolysis 2. what is hydrolysis? de. synthesis: condensation/polymerization hydration: hydro. hydrolysis lys.

Explanation:

1. Dehydration synthesis is a chemical reaction where a water molecule is removed to form a covalent bond between monomers, resulting in a larger molecule (polymer). In the top - part diagrams, water ($H_2O$) is removed and monomers combine to form a polymer.
2. Hydrolysis is the reverse of dehydration synthesis. A water molecule is added to break the covalent bond in a polymer, resulting in its monomers. In the bottom - part diagrams, water is added and the polymer breaks down into monomers.

Answer:

1. What is dehydration synthesis?

• Dehydration synthesis is a chemical reaction in which a water molecule is removed from two monomers to form a covalent bond and a larger molecule (polymer).

1. What is hydrolysis?

• Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which a water molecule is added to break the covalent bond in a polymer, yielding its monomers.

1. What was removed? (in dehydration synthesis)

• Water ($H_2O$)

1. What do you end with? (in dehydration synthesis)

• A polymer

1. What was added? (in hydrolysis)

• Water ($H_2O$)

1. What do you end with? (in hydrolysis)
