Reactions that break apart large molecules are involved in catabolic processes, such as digestion or cellular respiration. These reactions help to release energy by breaking down complex molecules, like carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, into simpler compounds that can be used by cells for energy production and other processes.

The chemical process by which molecules are broken down into their smaller components is called catabolism.
This process is called hydrolysis.
Yes, enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts to speed up chemical reactions in living organisms.
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.

No, water is released when a peptide bond is formed through a dehydration synthesis reaction, not when it is broken. In the process of breaking a peptide bond (hydrolysis), water is required to break the bond and separate the amino acids.
A catalyst increases the rate of reaction by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy. This allows more reactant molecules to overcome the activation energy barrier and form products faster. The addition of a catalyst does not necessarily affect the entropy of the reaction itself, as entropy is related to the disorder of the system and the arrangement of particles, not the speed of the reaction.
