A. An OH group from one component and an H atom from the other form a water molecule.
C. Monomers or polymers are joined to form longer chains.
Explanation:
Dehydration reactions are the ones in which a water molecule is released during the formation of a covalent bond. Since these are "synthesis" reactions, complex molecules are formed from the simpler monomers. Therefore, dehydration synthesis refers to the reactions that form complex polymers by joining the monomers together.
For example, when a peptide bond is formed between two amino acids, OH group from one amino acid and "H" from the other amino acid join together and are released in the form of "H2O". A covalent bond is formed between the two amino acids. many amino acids are joined together in this way to form long polypeptide chains.
A competitive inhibitor will stop the reaction from happening because it blocks out the hydrolase from the enzyme, and a noncompetitive will try to block it but in a different way. The noncompetitives change the shape of the enzyme active site so that the hydrolase cant bond with it.
According to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.
