Dehydration synthesis is an anabolic reaction. Water is released as a byproduct when a hydrogen is released from one molecule

and an oxygen is released from another. Draw two hexose

structures, then remove a H+ from one molecule and an OH- from

another. Write H+ and OH- on the side to represent your water

droplet. Now draw the connected monomers together to form a

bond. Include the water droplet below the bond to show that

water is released as a byproduct. Repeat this until you have

formed 3 bonds. Insert your photo below.

1. amino acid refers to the fundamental building block of proteins, comprising of an amino group and a carboxyl group.

2. catalyst refers to any substance, which increases the rate of chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction.

3. a complex molecule containing he genetic code is dna or deoxyribonucleic acid.

4. an enzyme refers to a molecule of protein, which is unique in accelerating up a particular chemical reaction in the biological systems.

5. nucleic acid refers to an sequence of sugars, phosphates, and nitrogenous bases, for example, dna and rna.

6. a protein refers to a large, composite organic molecule comprising of a huge number of amino acids associated together with the of peptide bonds.

7. rna refers to a nucleic acid that takes part in the production of proteins.

8. substrate refers to a compound, which takes part in a chemical reaction, and is chemically modified by the reaction.
