Reactions that break apart large molecules are involved in catabolism. It is a type of metabolism that releases energy in the process.

The chemical process by which molecules are broken down into their smaller components is called catabolism.
This process is called hydrolysis.
Enzymatic proteins are proteins, or enzymes, that speed up chemical reactions in the body. These reactions break apart biological molecules without being changed themselves.
Digestion breaks apart the proteins using specific enzymes (catalysts to speed up reactions) to make amino acids and then those amino acids are sorted and used throughout your body.
Digestion is the process through which food is broken down in one's digestive system. This is done by mechanical means and the release of enzymes in the alimentary canal. The food must be broken into smaller parts or substance so that the body can utilize them.
Most chemical compounds do not combine with one another automatically, nor do chemical compounds break apart automatically. The great majority of the chemical reactions that occur within living things must be energized. This means that the atoms of a molecule must be separated by energy put into the system. The energy forces apart the atoms in the molecules and allows the reaction to take place.
Gas molecules are far apart in which layer
No, a water molecule is released during condensation(dehydration) reactions. There are two opposite reactions: hydrolysis and condensation. Hydrolysis breaks apart polymers into monomers. In the process, water molecules are broken apart to "cap" the ends of the monomers. In condensation reactions, two monomers are joined and a molecule of water is formed and removed.
When two molecules react with each other they must form a transition state. The higher the energy of the transition state the less likely it is for the two molecules to react with each other. Catalysts lower the energy of the transition state. This makes it more likely for molecules to react with one another, which speeds up the overall reaction. Entropy is unrelated. Reactions that break apart molecules increase entropy. Reactions that combine molecules together diminish entropy. Both types of reactions can be sped up by catalysts.
