Raina Mclaughlin · Answer 1

D. monosaccharides are joined

Explanation:

Dehydration synthesis can be described as the process of coming together of two molecules or compounds, followed by the removal of water.

In every dehydration process there must be loss or lacking if water.

Dehydration synthesis is also classified as a condensation reaction because

during a condensation reaction, there is is condensation of two molecules and also water is lost to form a large molecule which same as dehydration synthesis.

For instance, a dehydration synthesis occur in the formation of maltose from two molecules of glucose. also molecules, such as carbohydrates as well as proteins are formed through same process.

Therefore since dehydration synthesis involve coming together of two molecules then the best option is that monosaccharides are joined
