Question

question
which of the following is synonymous with the type of chemical reaction that forms larger molecules by forming new bonds between smaller chemicals?
select all that apply
synthesis reaction
hydrolysis reactions
anabolic reaction
dehydration synthesis

Explanation:

Synthesis reactions combine smaller molecules to form larger ones by creating new bonds. Anabolic reactions in biology are also about building larger molecules from smaller ones. Dehydration synthesis is a type of synthesis reaction where a water molecule is removed as new bonds are formed between smaller chemicals. Hydrolysis reactions break down larger molecules into smaller ones by adding water, so it is not the correct type of reaction here.

Answer:

A. Synthesis reaction
C. Anabolic reaction
D. Dehydration synthesis
