Fatty acids are molecules not formed by dehydration reactions
WHAT IS DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS:
- Dehydration synthesis is a form or chemical reaction between two smaller molecules to form a much larger molecule, accompanied by the release of water (H2O).
- Dehydration synthesis is the process by which polymeric molecules such as proteins, polysaccharides (carbohydrate), DNA etc. are formed.
- DNA is formed by joining of nucleotides, Proteins are formed by joining of amino acids, Disaccharides or polysaccharides are formed by joining monosaccharides, amylose is a form of starch formed by joining monosaccharides.
However, fatty acids is a monomeric molecule, hence, cannot be formed from dehydration synthesis.
