Question

a dehydration reaction (or condensation reaction) is the process in which _______. the bonds between the individual monomers of a polymer are broken by the addition of water molecules none of the choices are correct. water molecules are attracted to each other water molecules are used as a source of raw material to break down polymers to monomers water molecules are produced as a polymer formed from monomers check answer thats incorrect. one of the choices is correct. think about what is meant by dehydration (loss of water).

Explanation:

A dehydration (condensation) reaction is when water molecules are produced as monomers combine to form a polymer. The first option describes hydrolysis, not dehydration. Water - water attraction is not related to dehydration reactions. Using water to break polymers into monomers is hydrolysis. So the correct description among the options is that water molecules are produced as a polymer is formed from monomers.

Answer:

water molecules are produced as a polymer formed from monomers
