Answer 1

What do you mean by hydrolysis??

Hydrolysis (/haɪˈdrɒlɪsɪs/; from Ancient Greek hydro- 'water', and lysis 'to unbind') is any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water breaks one or more chemical bonds. The term is used broadly for substitution, elimination, and solvation reactions in which water is the nucleophile

Hydrolysis reactions can be the reverse of a condensation reaction in which two molecules join together into a larger one and eject a water molecule. Thus hydrolysis adds water to break down, whereas condensation builds up by removing water.

• Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which water is used to break down the bonds of a particular substance.1 In biotechnology and as far as living organisms are concerned, these substances are often polymers (simply put, many similar molecules can that join together).
