Lab 2.2.3 Biochemistry of Food
Process of Dehydration Synthesis and Hydrolysis
During the Biochemistry of Food unit I learned about macromolecules and polymers which I knew nothing about at the beginning of the semester. I learned that dehydration synthesis is the combining of macromolecules in which water is given off after they are connected. I also learned that hydrolysis is the breaking apart of a polymer in which water would then be added. This artifact shows that I learned the meanings of the definitions and I understand the processes of how it occurs and during this unit I learned that is an important skill to understand.
