The process of building protein from amino acids produces water. Describe the type of reaction used to build muscles

What will be an ideal response?


Muscle contains protein built from amino acids. Dehydration synthesis is an anabolic reaction that links monomers, amino acids, through the removal of a water molecule to form a polymer, thus making new muscle proteins. Thus, muscle building generates water through the joining of amino acids.
