<P> Dehydration reactions and dehydration synthesis have the same meaning, and are often used interchangeably . Two monosaccharides, such as glucose and fructose, can be joined together (to form sucrose) using dehydration synthesis . The new molecule, consisting of two monosaccharides, is called a disaccharide . </P> <P> The process of hydrolysis is the reverse reaction, meaning that the water is recombined with the two hydroxyl groups and the disaccharide reverts to being monosaccharides . </P> <P> In the related condensation reaction water is released from two different reactants . </P> <P> In organic synthesis, there are many examples of dehydration reaction, for example dehydration of alcohols or sugars . </P>

Describe and give examples of dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions
