This is the addition of water to a substance. The water molecules break bonds in the original substance, therefore forming simpler substances.
A condensation reaction
DegraDATion (DEcompostion) reaction
Hydrolysis
condensation reaction
ATP can break down by hydrolysis (when phosphates are added) Hydrolysis reactions are exergonic, and the reverse of condensation is hydrolysis. (when phosphates are taken away)
Dehydration reaction because it removes the water.
Polymers, my good friend, are formed by condensation. Hydrolysis is when the polymers get taken apart.
The decomposition of any nutrient is called hydrolysis, in which a molecule of water is broken and "caps" the ends of the two monomers. The opposite of hydrolysis is called a condensation (or dehydration) reaction.

HYDROLYSIS
condensation reaction
You would add water through a hydrolysis reaction to reverse the condensation reaction (dehydration synthesis) that you started with to form the starch into a polysaccharide. All in all, you would just add WATER.
Lipids are synthesized by the chemical reaction condensation, and are broken down by the reaction hydrolysis.

A condensation reaction builds them up while hydrolysis breaks them down into their constituent parts.
