Dehydration Synthesis and Hydrolysis

Dehydration Synthesis and hydrolysis

​Means to make something. Taking 2 different monomers and putting them together to make a polymer

​​Synthesis

​Means to split, divide, break something. Taking a polymer and splitting it apart.

​​Hydrolysis

This means the reaction is using WATER, or H2O to either combine or split the molecules.
