Okay, you're going to answer this question.
00:01
Let's talk about two reactions that are dehydration and dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis.
00:08
First, let's talk about dehydration synthesis.
00:15
So, first remember that we have polymers and monomers.
00:18
Monomers are the basic units of a substance or a molecule, while polymers are like a clamp of monomers.
00:26
It means they are larger molecules.
00:28
Okay.
00:29
So, a large biological molecules often assemble via dehydration.
00:32
Synthesis reactions.
00:34
It means if you have here monombs and you have here polymers, many monomers together are going to produce polymers.
00:44
And the way by which these monomers clamp together in order to produce polymers is called, well, it occurs by a dehydration synthesis reaction.
00:55
It is a dehydration process because it is going to produce water...
