Question

1. compare and contrast dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis.

Explanation:

Dehydration synthesis is a reaction that builds larger molecules by removing water, while hydrolysis breaks down larger molecules using water. Both are important in biological macromolecule metabolism. In dehydration synthesis, monomers combine to form polymers with water as a by - product. Hydrolysis uses water to split polymers into monomers.

Answer:

In the "Dehydration Synthesis" circle: Builds larger molecules, removes water, monomers form polymers.
In the "Hydrolysis" circle: Breaks down larger molecules, uses water, polymers split into monomers.
In the "Both" circle: Important in macromolecule metabolism.
