Answer:

This question is incomplete and it lacks options. The complete question is as follows;

In condensation reactions, the atoms that make up a water molecule are from what?

a. oxygen

b. only one of the reactants

c. both of the reactants

d. carbohydrates

e. enzymes

The answer is C. Both of the reactant

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, two small molecules called monomers combine to form a much larger molecule called polymer in a process called CONDENSATION REACTION. Some condensation reactions is characterized by the release of a water molecule (dehydration).

This water molecule is formed as a result of the active participation of both reactants. During the reaction, hydroxyll group (-OH) from one of the reactants breaks off and combines with hydrogen ion (H+) from the other reactant to form water molecule (H2O).

Hence, the atoms that make up the water molecule come from both of the reactants participating in the condensation reaction.
