Which of the following best compares dehydration reactions and hydrolysis? Dehydration reactions assemble polymers; hydrolysis reactions break polymers apart. Dehydration reactions eliminate water from membranes; hydrolysis reactions add water to membranes. Dehydration reactions and hydrolysis reactions assemble polymers from monomers. Hydrolysis reactions assemble polymers; dehydration reactions break polymers apart.

Step 1
This means they are involved in the assembly of polymers. On the other hand, hydrolysis reactions involve the addition of a water molecule to break down a larger molecule, typically a polymer. This means they are involved in breaking polymers apart. Show more…

Which of the following is/are true of dehydration synthesis reactions? (Select all that apply.) Dehydration synthesis reactions are required to synthesize polymers. In dehydration synthesis reactions, the bonds holding monomers together are broken. Dehydration synthesis is involved in reactions that combine organic monomers to produce polymers. For each covalent bond produced in a dehydration synthesis reaction, one water molecule is released as a by-product.
