involve the transfer of electrons called
oxidation-reduction reactions (commonly
called redox reactions).
This reaction involves two steps.
First, the oxidation step in which an elec-
tron (or hydrogen atom) is lost from a
substrate.
Second, the lost electron is transferred

to another substrate; this is called reduc-
tion. While this may seem counterintu-
itive, it's actually not; "reduction" refers
to the fact that the charge is reduced
because you are adding a negative elec-
tron.

joined together, and as a part of the re-

form polysaccharides.
However, unlike a dehydration conden-
sation reaction where other small mole-
cules can be lost, in a dehydration reac-

tion the only molecule to be lost is water.
Thus, dehydration reactions are a spe-
cific subset of dehydration condensation
reactions.
