Hydrolysis is involved in?
Hydrolysis is involved in maltose to glucose digestion. Maltose, a starch, gets hydrolyzed into a couple remains of glucose in this carbohydrate digestion.
Where and how does hydrolysis occur during digestion?
In your mouth, amalyze chemically digests new food through your spit. This is a form of hydrolysis in digestion.
What is another name for the chemical digestion of polymer?
hydrolysis
What is digestion of starch to glucose by adding water?
Hydrolysis reaction
Breakdown of food into usable forms is called?
Hydrolysis or digestion
Which type of reaction is represented the digestion of food in your body?
hydrolysis reactions
The major chemical digestion that occurs in the adult stomach is a. hydrolysis of fats by gastric lipase b. conversion of ammonia to urea c. hydrolysis of sucrose by sucrase d. hydrolysis of proteins?
D. hydrolysis of proteins
What stage of metabolism involves the digestion of large food polymers?
Degradation and some oxidation to smaller molecules
Which digestion amylase causes?
Amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into sugars.
When two amino acids break apart they require water What is this process called?
Amino acids must go through photosynthesis
What is hydrolysis of large biological molecules into smaller ones that can be absorbed by cells?
chemical digestion
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.
