Expert Solution
Step 1

Dehydration reaction :  is the chemical reaction in which a water molecule is removed from the reactant molecule. The process of combination of two molecules with the removal of water molecule is called dehydration reaction.

Polymerization reaction : Process through which a large number of monomer react together to form a polymer.

Hydrolysis reaction : This reaction use  water to breakdown polymers into monomers and    which forms water when synthesizing a polymer from monomers
