Dehydration reactions and **dehydration synthesis** have the same meaning,it is the basic definition of dehydrtion sythesis and dehydration reactions is a chemical reaction that builds up molecules by losing water molecules. 

some examples of things that combine using hydration synthesis is when two monosaccharides, such as glucose and fructose, can be joined together (to form sucrose) using dehydration synthesis. The new molecule, consisting of two monosaccharides, is called a disaccharide after this.

to acquire the process of hydrolysis is the reverse reaction, which is the meaning that the water is recombined with the two hydroxyl groups and the disaccharide reverts to being monosaccharides. Sucrose
