Dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis

The video explores the essential roles of carbon and phosphorus in life, focusing on energy processes involving ATP. It explains catabolic and anabolic reactions, highlighting how energy is released and stored. Dehydration synthesis is discussed as a method of forming larger molecules like carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. The video also covers hydrolysis, the reverse process, which breaks down polymers into smaller units, crucial for digestion.
