Question

Which is an example of dehydration synthesis?
a.DNA synthesis from nucleotides
b. conversion of proteins into its amino acids
c. conversion of lipids into fatty acids

anonymous · Answer

The conversion of proteins into amino acids is known as hydrolysis since it requires water and hence is the opposite of dehydration synthesis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide_bond DNA synthesis is a dehydration reaction since water is a by product; as is formation of lipids from fatty acids
