The formation of a large molecule from two small molecules with the removal of water is called:
Correct answer: D. Both A and c
- A. Condensation
- B. Hydrolysis
- C. Dehydration synthesis
- D. Both A and c
Explanation
Because dehydration synthesis is the combination of smaller molecules into the larger molecule with the removal of water.This process involves the combination of monomers or smaller subunits to form a polymer while eliminating a water molecule. This is called condensation too

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
