Summary Introduction

To review:

The relation between hydrolysis synthesis and dehydration reactions.

This process is essential for the maintenance of normal metabolic processes and meets the homeostatic demands of the body. Dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions are essentially the most important biochemical reactions that facilitate biomolecular degradation and synthesis.
