A dehydration reaction is the process in which . A dehydration reaction is the process in which . water molecules are attracted to each other water molecules are formed when polymers are synthesized from monomers proteins are broken down to individual amino acids water molecules are used as a source of raw material to break down polymers to monomers

water molecules are formed when polymers are synthesized from monomers

Explanation:

Dehydration simply mean the removal of water. Hence, during dehydration water molecules (H2O) are formed as by-product alongside the main reaction products

For instance: Many polymerization reaction proceed with loss of water molecules while polymers are generated from simple units of monomers

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure

i don't know, but does anyone wanna be friends? i'm doing my homework at 1: 49 in the morning : /
