Dehydration Synthesis What: The building of organic macromolecules through the process of polymerization. A water molecule is removed every time a monomer is added to the polymer.
Why: Allows for macromolecule to be built internally by living organisms. Helps build our molecules, cells & tissues
Example:
Hydrolysis What: The taking apart of a polymer into its monomers by using water to break to bonds.
Why: Allows organisms consume macromolecules, disassemble them internally, and use the monomers to carry on life functions.
