c) Amino acid monomers are joining together to form a protein macromolecule.

d) Lipid molecules are forming fatty acid chains in a dehydrationsynthesis reaction.

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

This process is referred to as a dehydration synthesis because a water molecule is produced for every bond. Each bond produces an -OH from the carboxyl of the preceding amino and a -H from the amino group of the next amino acid involved in the bond – the OH and H combine to form a water molecule (H2O) and a peptide bond is formed
