do you know thatDehydration Synthesis and Hydrolysis
During the process of polymerization, monomers are joined together by a process called dehydration synthesis. As this name suggests, a covalent bond is synthesized by the loss of a water molecule (dehydration). For example, when two glucose molecules come together to form maltose, a water molecule is eliminated, as shown in the image.

Now, if the maltose formed in the earlier reaction is broken down using a water molecule, it will split to give two glucose units. Because water is used to break down foods
