It is a process in which large organic molecules are synthesized and water molecule is removed:
Correct answer: B. Condensation
- A. Hydrolysis
- B. Condensation
- C. Hydrogenation
- D. Decarboxylation
Explanation
The correct answer is Condensation. In condensation reactions, smaller molecules combine to form larger organic molecules, and a water molecule is removed in the process, which aligns perfectly with the question's description. Hydrolysis does the opposite by breaking down molecules with water. Hydrogenation and decarboxylation are unrelated to water removal in synthesis processes.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
