Question

what is the name of the reaction that bonds together monomers of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the reaction that bonds monomers of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins, we recall biochemical concepts. Monomers (like fatty acids and glycerol for lipids, monosaccharides for carbs, amino acids for proteins) are joined by a dehydration synthesis (or condensation) reaction. In this reaction, a water molecule is removed as the monomers bond, forming polymers (e.g., fats, polysaccharides, polypeptides).

Answer:

Dehydration synthesis (or Condensation reaction)
