dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules.
hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.
Dehydration - also called condensation - reactions covalently bind two substances by the removal of H+&OH-, while hydrolysis is the separation of one molecule into two others by the addition of H+&OH-.
They are (generally) opposite reactions. Dehydration (condensation) reactions build polymers from monomers by removing water while hydrolysis reactions break polymers into monomers by adding water.
Dehydration syntheses: the removal of water to join monomers into macromolecules
Hydrolysis: the addition of water to separate macromolecules
Maltose is made by dehydration synthesis.
Dehydration reactions assemble polymers, hydrolysis reactions break down polymers
dehydration reactions assemble polymers and hydrolysis breaks them down.
hydrolysis breaking apart molecules by the addition of water
dehydration creating larger molecules by the removal of water
if a condensation reaction involves loss of water, ONLY then it is known to a dehydration. however, there are reactions which may involve loss of carbon dioxide or ammonia, and are then not considered to be dehydration
Basically, the light-trapping reactions trap sunlight within them. The products of these reactions are glucose and chlorophyll. These products are coupled to the synthesis of carbohydrates because when carbohydrates are synthesized, glucose is created. Both reactions have a product of glucose. This is how they are related/coupled.
The S in the cell cycle means synthesis and refers to the synthesis of DNA in the process of DNA replication. Please refer to the Related Links for an excellent website on cells.
An example of dehydration synthesis would be two monosaccharide's joining together. For example, glucose and fructose. Another word for synthesis is combination.
Sucrose in a disaccharide composed of one glucose and one fructose molecule. Upon hydrolysis the disaccharide is broken up into its constituent monosaccharaides, with a resulting loss of one molecule of water for each molecule of sucrose hydrolyzed.
They are (generally) opposite reactions. Dehydration (condensation) reactions build polymers from monomers by removing water while hydrolysis reactions break polymers into monomers by adding water.
Yes! Dehydration is the combining of two or more molecules while producing water. Hydrolysis is the addition of water to a molecule to split it up into smaller molecules. Hydrolysis is to Degradation as Dehydration is to Synthesis. Matter of fact, it is usually called Dehydration Synthesis!
The process of dehydration, synthesis and hydrolysis are related to the organic compounds such as the carbohydrates, lipids and proteins because they are involved in their digestion, egestion and storage.
In polymerization reactions, one monomer loses an OH group and the other loses an H atom, which combine to form water, and the monomers combine chemically to one another. See the related link for an illustration of two amino acids combining in a dehydration synthesis reaction.
ATP can break down by hydrolysis (when phosphates are added) Hydrolysis reactions are exergonic, and the reverse of condensation is hydrolysis. (when phosphates are taken away)

Monomers become chemically bonded to one another when they undergo dehydration synthesis and form dimers, or polymers. During dehydration synthesis, one monomer loses an H atom, and the other loses an OH group, which will form a molecule of water, which is why it is called a dehydration synthesis. A larger molecule will be synthesized with a loss of a water molecule. One example is the dehydration synthesis that occurs between the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, which yields the disaccharide sucrose (table sugar), and a molecule of water. Refer to the related link for an illustration.
proteins themselves are involved in the production of lipids and carbs. Enzymes carry out just about all the reactions needed to break down and make more lipids, carbs, DNA and proteins.
Condensation is a chemical process by which 2 molecules are joined together to make a larger, more complex, molecule, with the loss of water.It is the basis for the synthesis of all the important biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids) from their simpler sub-units.It is important not to get condensation and hydrolysis muddled up, as they are in fact opposite processes! Condensation is so called because the product is drawn together from two other substances, in effect getting smaller by losing water. It does not give off water to condense and run down the window!In all cases of condensation, molecules with projecting -H atoms are linked to other molecules with projecting -OH groups, producing H2O, ( H.OH ) also known as water, which then moves away from the original molecules.A-H + B-OH --> A-B + H2O
Dehydration
Chemistry is the study of chemical composition of materials, of chemical reactions, of the structure of molecules, of molecules synthesis, etc. Chemistry is close to physics, mineralogy, biology.
