Question

Polymers of polysaccharides are all synthesized from monomers by which process? *

Answer 1

The reaction which connects monomers (polymerization) is dehydration synthesis.
The name tells you about the nature of the reaction - dehydration means 'loss of water', correct? When two biological monomers connect, one gives up a hydrogen ion (H+), and the other gives up a hydroxyl group; (OH-). They combine to form H2O - water.
