Dehydration Synthesis
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Dehydration synthesis joins two smaller molecules into a larger one by forming a covalent bond and releasing a water molecule.
Show
Two glucose molecules join through dehydration synthesis to form maltose, releasing one water molecule in the process.
Watch for
The reaction is named for what it releases, water, not for what it removes moisture from.
