Dehydration synthesis reactions ________ , whereas hydrolysis reactions ________.
A)lose H₂O as bonds are broken; use H₂O to form bonds
B)break large molecules into smaller ones; build large molecules from smaller ones
C)use H₂O to form bonds; lose H₂O as bonds are broken
D)lose H₂O as bonds are formed; use H₂O to break bonds

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dehydration synthesis reactions involve the removal of water (H₂O) as molecules are joined together to form larger molecules. Hydrolysis reactions, on the other hand, involve the addition of water to break bonds within larger molecules to form smaller molecules.
