hydrolysis... my biology book says that... cells dissasemble macromolecules into their constituent subunits by performing reactions that are essentailly the reverse of dehydration- a molecule of water is added instead of removed.


Why is sucrose boiled with an acid instead of an alkali?

Hydrolysis breaks the glycosidic bond, converting sucrose into glucose and fructose. Hydrolysis is, however, so slow that solutions of sucrose can sit for years with negligible change. If the enzyme sucrase is added, however, the reaction will proceed rapidly. Hydrolysis can also be accelerated with acids, such as cream of tartar or lemon juice, both weak acids. Similarly gastric acidity converts sucrose to glucose and fructose during digestion.
