Best Answer

The hydrolytic process breaks down inter-amino acid bonds of the protein, so that first polypeptides, then oligopeptides, and finally the constituent amino acids result.

By hydrolysis a water molecule will be split into a hydrogen atom and an -OH group and these two units take the bindings that held the amino acids togeather in the first place so that the protein molecule is decomposed.

Hydrolysis means "dissolving by water", but usually also some catalyst must be present for the reaction to occur, like an acid or base.

A protein is a very long chains of amino acids which also is wrapped up in specific ways to produce a shape specific for the protein molecule.

A polypeptide is a long chain of amino acids, but shorter than a protein.

An oligopeptide is a chain of just a few amino acids.

Amino acids. If these amino acids are heated it will turn to carbon dioxide and ammonia
