Question

Dehydration occurs during the formation of the following types of bonds:

• A. Peptide bond and Hydrogen bond
• B. Hydrogen bond and Glycosidic bond
• C. Hydrogen bond and Ester bond
• D. Peptide bond, Glycosidic bond, and Ester bond

Hint:

Peptide, glycosidic, and ester bonds are formed by dehydration synthesis, while hydrogen bonds do not involve water removal.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding Dehydration Reactions Dehydration synthesis occurs when monomers join to form polymers by removing a molecule of water. This occurs in:
- Peptide bonds (between amino acids in proteins).
- Glycosidic bonds (between monosaccharides in carbohydrates).
- Ester bonds (in lipids between glycerol and fatty acids).
Hydrogen bonds are not formed by dehydration.
