they require dehydration synthesis or the removing of water in order to attach them

The most biological significant similarity is that they all require a net input of energy.
They all consist of monomeric units that are assembled into different macromolecules.
Differences: Type of bonds Carbs consist of C to C and C to O, and some C to O
Proteins have some C to N bonds thrown in
Lipids are primarily C to C and C to H with some double bonds and C to O to C bonds
While these are all monomeric, the assemblies are not strictly polymeric. Lipids are not typically polymers, while the others are.

alike-monomers are bonded to form polymers through dehydration reaction (and are broken through hydrolysis)
different-they are made of different amounts of different elements and are structurally different
