    Hydrolysis and Dehydration

    Uploaded by

    Purnomo Siddhi
    This document discusses dehydration and hydrolysis reactions in biochemistry. Dehydration synthesis involves joining monomers together to form polymers by releasing a water molecule, such as forming polysaccharides from monosaccharides. Hydrolysis is the opposite reaction, using a water molecule to break polymers into monomers, releasing energy in the process. Protein formation specifically involves dehydration synthesis, joining amino acid monomers via peptide bonds into polypeptide polymers.
