Abstract:
COVID-19 has transformed the education sector and all stakeholders have to play their role in adapting to the sudden emerging needs. This transformation was more critical for health related disciplines as both students and faculty were at the forefront addressing the education, and clinical care needs.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
Synthesis of carbohydrates
Sugar molecules are covalently linked together by dehydration synthesis. During the reaction, the hydroxyl (-OH) group from...
