Question

use the picture to answer this question. when the left molecule bonds with three copies of the right molecule, a lipid forms by dehydration synthesis. which of the following will be a byproduct of the reaction? a. three water molecules b. three organic molecules c. three hydrocarbon molecules d. three carbon dioxide molecules

Explanation:

Dehydration synthesis involves the formation of a larger molecule with the loss of water molecules. When one molecule bonds with three copies of another to form a lipid by dehydration synthesis, for each bond - formation in dehydration synthesis, one water molecule is released. Since there are three bond - formations here, three water molecules are produced as byproducts.

Answer:

A. three water molecules
