Enzymes split large molecules into two or more smaller molecules by adding water through which type of reaction?
Hydrolysis is the reaction that stems from the breakdown of large molecules by the enzymatic addition of water. Hydrolysis is step leading to the degradation of the substance. It is a chemical reaction in which a molecule of water is added to a substance. At times water and the substance will split and one part of the parent molecule will receive one hydrogen ion.
What is the breakdown of water into hydrogen to oxygen is an example of?
Electrolysis. The breakdown of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas.
What is the hydrate in carbohydrates and is critical molecule to hydrolysis and polymerization?
The hydrate in carbohydrates refers to the presence of water molecules in the structure of these molecules. Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, typically in the ratio of 1:2:1. The presence of water molecules in carbohydrates is important for hydrolysis, which is the breakdown of carbohydrates into smaller units by adding water, as well as for polymerization, which is the formation of larger carbohydrate molecules by removing water.
The breakdown of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen molecules is an example of?
Electrolysis.
How much oxygen is produced if 60 ml of hydrogen is generated?
This value is 0,043 g oxygen (for the water hydrolysis).
What does the breakdown of a polymer involve?
The breaking down of some complex molecules, such as polymers, occurs through a process known as hydrolysis.Hydrolysis takes place in the presence of water containing an acid or a base as catalyst. The water causes polymers to breakdown to monomers. Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.
Is hydrolysis an acid?
Hydrolysis is a process of breaking the bonds in a water molecule into their component gases, hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrolysis is not an acid.
What is difference between hydration and hydrolysis?
Dehydration is when two molecules come together to produce a water (by bonding OH and H so you have H2O.) Hydrolysis is doing that in reverse. Breaking the H2O into H and OH and therefore breaking the bond.
What are the hydrolytic breakdown products of protein hydrolysis?
Hydrolysis is the opposite of dehydration synthesis- water is added. A hydrogen* (H) joins to a monomer and a hydroxyl* (OH) joins to the adjacent monomer.
What is the function of hydrogen in hydrolysis?
Hydrolysis of water produce hydrogen ions.

What is the difference between condensation and hydrolysis's?
Difference Between Condensation and HydrolysisCondensationDuring Condensation two monomers join.In condensation, a hydroxyl (-OH) group is removed from one monomer and a hydrogen (-H) is removed from the other.Condensation Involves a 'dehydration synthesis' because water is removed (dehydration) and a bond is made (synthesis).The proper enzyme is needed for condensation.Macro molecules are built up in cells by condensation.HydrolysisDuring Hydrolysis, a polymer breaks down into two monomers.In hydrolysis, an -OH group from water attaches to one monomer and an -H from water attaches to other monomer.Hydrolysis involves 'hydration' (the addition of water) to break a bond (lysis)The proper enzyme is also needed for hydrolysis.Macro molecules are broken down in cells by hydrolysis

Ozonide reductive hydrolysis mechanism?
The purpose of the zinc is to reduce the hydrogen peroxide which is generated in the hydrolysis.
What is the breakdown of water into hydrogen to oxygen is an example of?
Electrolysis. The breakdown of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas.
The process of breaking apart two bonds with water is called?
When certain molecular crystals are added to water, they are able to dissolve and break down into their original molecules, if they are affected by the interatomic hydrogen bonds that water induces. A simple answer: dissolving.
Polysaccharides are split apart to form monosaccharides in a reaction called?
This is a smart question. But the answer is simple it is a hydrogen reaction. - Hydrolysis.
