Answer:

Dehydration reaction is the chemical reaction that links the MONOMERS together by removing a HYDROGEN ATOM form one monomer and an OH GROUP from a second molecule creating a COVALENT BOND between these molecules. The H ATOM and the OH GROUP will be bonded as well to form a water molecule. On the other hand, HYDROLYSIS is a chemical reaction that BREAK down POLYMERS introducing a water molecule and breaking the covalent between the monomers in the polymers.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids are polymers of simpler sugars, amino acids and nucleotides respectively. Monomer molecules are joined together to form a polymer by dehydration reactions and a water molecule is released. On the other hand, hydrolytic reactions break down polymers into monomers by adding water molecules to them.

For example, a dehydration reaction joins two amino acids together by a peptide bond (a specific type of covalent bond that joins the amino acids) to form a dipeptide. During the reaction, one amino acid loses an H atom and the other loses its OH group to release a water molecule.

Breakdown of proteins into amino acid occurs by hydrolytic reactions in which water molecules are added to amino acids to breakdown the peptide bonds between them.

What is the similarity between excretory systems of insects, earthworms and vertebrates?
4vir4ik [10]

Los seres invertebrados y los vertebrados tienen más elementos en común de lo que se pensaba. Un estudio, con participación del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), prueba que existe gran similitud entre los sistemas excretores de ambos grupos de animales. Según la investigación, las células encargadas de filtrar la sangre en la formación de orina, alojadas en los riñones de vertebrados, son similares a las que realizan una función análoga en invertebrados.

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Jake is correct.

Explanation:

Sophie is wrong because although dolphins and sharks can technically be said to be similar, it resulted from convergent evolution, which has nothing to do with common ancestry and rather to do with similar environments for their homes.
