The biological importance of a condensation reaction is its capacity to synthesize polymers from monomers, a process fundamental to the formation of

A. An enzyme-substrate complex
B. A lipid bilayer from phospholipids
C. Polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids
✓
D. The ionic gradient across a membrane

📝 Explanation

Condensation (dehydration synthesis) is the universal anabolic reaction for building all major biological macromolecules: monosaccharides to polysaccharides, amino acids to proteins, and nucleotides to nucleic acids. Water is the byproduct of each new bond formed.
