Answer: dehydration synthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

A dipetide is obtained when two amino acid molecules are joined together through dehydration synthesis, which result in the formation of peptide bonds. Through this process water is removed {dehydration) to allow for the combining(synthesis) of the molecules .The amino acids are the smaller molecules that are joined to form the larger molecule which is the dipeptide.
