Which of the following best summarizes the relationship between dehydration reactions and hydrolysis?
-Dehydration reactions can occur only after hydrolysis.
-Dehydration reactions ionize water molecules and add hydroxyl groups to polymers; hydrolysis reactions release hydroxyl groups from polymers.
- Dehydration reactions assemble polymers, and hydrolysis reactions break down polymers.
-Hydrolysis creates monomers, and dehydration reactions break down polymers.
-Dehydration reactions eliminate water from lipid membranes, and hydrolysis makes lipid membranes water permeable.
