To bond two monomers together, a molecule of water must be ________ to/from monomers. This process is called ________.
A) added; hydrolysis
B) removed; dehydration synthesis
C) removed; crenation
D) added; denaturation
E) added; ionization

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dehydration synthesis is the process of joining two monomers together by removing a molecule of water from them. This forms a covalent bond between the monomers. Option A is incorrect because adding a molecule of water would break the bond between the monomers in a process called hydrolysis. Option C and D are incorrect because they are not relevant to the process of bonding monomers together. Option E is incorrect because ionization involves forming charged particles by losing or gaining electrons, which is not relevant to bonding monomers together.
