    E) A, B, and C

    Explanation:

    A chemist would call them condensation reactions, that is, reactions in which two molecules combine by splitting out a molecule of water.

    A) Triacylglycerides form by splitting out molecules of water from glycerol and fatty acids

    C₃H₅ (OH) ₃ + 3RCOOH ⟶ C₃H₅ (OCOR) ₃ + 3H₂O

    glycerol fatty acid triacylglyceride water

    B) Carbohydrates form by splitting out molecules of water from simpler carbohydrates

    C₆H₁₂O₆ + C₆H₁₂O₆ ⟶ C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + H₂O

    glucose fructose sucrose water

    C) Proteins form by reactions between amino acids.

    H₂NCH (R) CO-OH + H-NHCH (R) COOH

    amino acid amino acid

    ⟶ H₂NCH (R) CO-NHCH (R) COOH + H₂O

    dipeptide water
