What is a reaction that breaks down compounds by the addition of water?
Hydrolysis is the type of reaction occurring when complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones by the addition of water.Example:Hydrolysis of a molecule of a disaccharide, such as sucrose, into two molecules of a monosaccharide, such as glucose.C12H22O11 + H2O ---> 2C6H12O6
Is water released when a peptide bond between two amino acids is broken?
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.
What is the process called by which food is broken do to its structures of water?
There are two possible answers to your question. The process in which food is broken down into smaller, soluble substances is digestion. However I think you might be after the type of chemical reaction involved in digestion, which is hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is the breakdown of a larger molecule into smaller molecules by reacting with water. So, for example, maltose is broken down into glucose by hydrolysis reactions, and proteins are broken down into amino acids by hydrolysis reactions. See http://www.biotopics.co.uk/as/disaccharidehydrolysis.html for a simple animation of the hydrolysis of maltose.
What type of reaction breaks covalent bonds by the addition of water molecules?
A hydrolysis reaction is a reaction that breaks covalent bonds by the addition of water molecules.
Consider a polysaccharide consisting of 576 glucose molecules The total hydrolysis of the polysaccharide would result in the production of?
828 glucose molecules and no water becuase hydrolysis removes water
What is the process in which molecules are broken apart by the addiction of water molecules?
Hydrolysis. I remember it as hydro = water, lysis = to split.
How are large molecules broken down into glucose molecules?
Large carbohydrates are broken down by hydrolysis, or the addition of water molecules.
A protein consisting of six amino acids undergoes hydrolysis How many water molecules must be broken down and reattached to amino acid molecules during this process?
Five. One molecule of water will be used to break each bond between the amino acids. Since there are five bonds, then five molecules of water will be required for the hydrolysis of this peptide.
What is the chemical reactions that allow large molecules to be broken apart into smaller molecules by adding water called?
This process is called hydrolysis.

What type of chemical reaction happens occurs when polymers are broken apart by water?
Hydrolysis, easy to remember because "hydro" is the latin word for water.
When a protein consiting of six amino acids underges hydrolysis how many water molecules must be broken down?
Five water molecules, one for each peptide bond.
What is the term that refers to the type of reaction occurring when complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones by the addition of water?
Hydrolysis
What substances is added during hydrolysis in order to break down food macromolecules?
Water molecules are added
Is water released when a peptide bond between two amino acids is broken?
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.
What type of chemical reaction occurs when polymers are broken apart by water?
Hydrolysis. Polymers are broken down into monomers in a process known as hydrolysis
What is the difference between dehydration reaction and hydrolysis reaction?
In dehydration, water molecules are removed. Hydrolysis is the opposite of this. In hydrolization, water molecules are combined.
