Question

Which of the following is an example of dehydration synthesis?

• A. Starch $\to$ Glucose
• B. Cellulose $\to$ Carbohydrate
• C. Amino $\to$ Polypeptide
• D. DNA $\to$ Nucleotide
• E. Glycerol $\to$ Fatty Acids

Answer 1

The correct option is C Amino $\to$ Polypeptide

In a protein, amino acids are linked by a peptide bond which is formed when the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of the next amino acid with the elimination of water moiety (the process is called dehydration) Thus option C is the correct answer.
