In organic chemistry hydrolytic means a breaking of one molecule into two, using the molecules of water. Usually one molecule gets an -OH and the other an -H. It is a very common way for organic systems to break larger molecules into smaller ones.

Why enzymes are called hydrolytic enzymes?
Careful! Not all enzymes are hydrolytic. Hydrolytic enzymes catalyse reactions in which there is breaking of molecules (involving the participation of water molecules). There are enzymes which catalyse reactions in which molecules join together to form a larger molecule (condensation reactions)
Do prokaryotes have hydrolytic enzymes and If so where?
nope, they don't
Digestive enzymes or hydrolytic enzymes are terms associated with?
lysosomes
What is rancidity and what are its types?
the types of rancidity are oxidative, microbial and hydrolytic...
What has low pH and contain high hydrolytic digestive enzyme?
lysosome
What organelle has hydrolytic enzymes?
The organelle in animal cells that contain hydrolytic enzymes are lysosomes.
Which process requires hydrolytic enzymes?

In animal cells hydrolytic enzymes are packaged to prevent general destruction of cellular components what organelles functions in this compartmentalization?

Difference between protease and proteinase?
Proteases: Any of various enzymes, including the endopeptidases and exopeptidases, that catalyze the hydrolytic breakdown of proteins into peptides or amino acids. Poteinases: A protease that begins the hydrolytic breakdown of proteins, usually by splitting them into polypeptide chains. It is also a synonym of endopeptidases (e.g. pepsin, trypsin, or papain). Note: Protease - endo- & exo- peptidases; Catalyze hydrolytic breakdown Proteinase - endo-peptidases; Begins hydrolytic breakdown by splitting
Vesicles produced by the Golgi apparatus that contain hydrolytic enzymes are?
Lysosomes
