In order to build the dipeptide, water was removed and smaller molecules were joined o make a larger molecule. What is the name of this chemical process?

Answer: dehydration synthesis

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.
