Which of the following are examples of hydrolysis reaction?

Some examples of hydrolysis include dissolving a salt of a weak acid or base in water or dissolving sulphuric acid in water where hydronium and bisulfate compounds are formed. Hydrolysis also helps in breaking down proteins, fats, and complex carbohydrates in food.

What is A hydrolysis reaction quizlet?

hydrolysis. A chemical reaction in which a compound is broken down into smaller molecules by reacting with water. In biology most hydrolysis reactions involve polymers breaking down into monomers.

What is true about A hydrolysis reaction?

Hydrolysis reactions use water to breakdown polymers into monomers and is the opposite of dehydration synthesis, which forms water when synthesizing a polymer from monomers. Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.

Which best describes A hydrolysis reaction?

Which best describes a hydrolysis reaction? A. Molecules are broken down into smaller ones by breaking covalent bonds within water molecules and transferring hydrogen atoms and hydroxyl groups to the smaller ones.
