    Dehydration reactions assemble polymers, and hydrolysis reactions break down polymers.

    Explanation:

    dehydration reaction is a conversion that involves the loss of water from the reacting molecule or ion.

    Hydrolysis is defined as any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water ruptures one or more chemical bonds.

    Dehydration reactions link monomers together into polymers by releasing water, and hydrolysis breaks polymers into monomers using a water molecule. Monomers are just single unit molecules and polymers are chains of monomers.
