Question

use the illustration below to answer the question.

chemical reaction diagram

use the diagram to help you answer the question.

what process does the diagram depict?

a dehydration synthesis

b light independent reactions

c atp cycle

d photosynthesis

Explanation:

The diagram shows two amino acid molecules joining together, with a water molecule released as a byproduct. This is the defining feature of dehydration synthesis, where smaller molecules are linked to form a larger molecule with the loss of water. The other options (light independent reactions, ATP cycle, photosynthesis) are unrelated to this type of molecular bonding of amino acids.

Answer:

A. dehydration synthesis
