1. Dehydration Synthesis
Building Organic Compounds from their Monomers

2. Dehydration Synthesis
Lose H2O “Make” or “Build” Each time two monomers are joined, water must be released to cause missing valence electrons.

3. Dehydration Synthesis

4. Dehydration Synthesis

5. Summarize
In your own words, describe HOW dehydration synthesis is done

6. Hydrolysis Water to break apart
To break organic compounds, water must be added to provide valence electrons. It is the opposite reaction as Dehydration Synthesis.
