What is the difference between dehydration reaction and hydration reaction?
Hydrolysis is the reaction of an organic compound with water, whereas dehydration is the removal of water molecules from an organic compound.
What chemical reaction joins small organic molecules into organic macro-molecules?
dehydration synthesis
Compared with the rate of an inorganic reaction the rate of an organic reaction is usually?
slower, because the organic particles are molecules
What is the chemical reaction that releases energy from organic molecules like glucouse?
Glycolysis
What is enzymatic degradation?
An example of hydrolysis is when a chemical compound is broken down when reacted with water which is added to cause this reaction. In organic chemistry it is the reverse of a condensation reaction. The decomposition of organic compounds by interaction with water. Process of decomposition involving splitting of a bond and addition of the elements of water.

What is the difference between dehydration reaction and hydration reaction?
Hydrolysis is the reaction of an organic compound with water, whereas dehydration is the removal of water molecules from an organic compound.
What reaction splits organic polymers?
Depolymerization. Hydrolysis also for certain polymers.
What chemical reaction joins small organic molecules into organic macro-molecules?
dehydration synthesis
What is the function of hydrolase?
Hydrolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the splitting of organic molecules into smaller molecules in the presence of water. Example; the hydrolysis of the carbohydrate starch.
Compared with the rate of an inorganic reaction the rate of an organic reaction is usually?
slower, because the organic particles are molecules
What is the order of a hydrolysis reaction?
Hydrolysis in a chemistry a double decomposition reaction with aqua(Water) as one of the reactants. Thus, if a compound is denoted by the formula xy in which y and x are atoms then water is represented by the formula HOH, the hydrolysis reaction may be represented by the reversible chemical equation xy + HOH ⇌ xH + yOH. The reactants other than water, and the products of hydrolysis, may be neutral molecules-as in most hydrolyses involving organic compounds as in hydrolyses of salts, acids, and bases.
What is break down of food molecules called?
Breakdown of food molecules, that is, conversion of complex organic substances into simple organic ones is called digestion.
What happens when organic molecules decompose?
energy is released
What is the chemical reaction that releases energy from organic molecules like glucouse?
Glycolysis
How does a hydrolysis chemical reaction occur?
The initial stage of hydrolysis occurs in the mouth which is the early stage of digestion. In this process carbohydrates are broken down by hydrolysis along with the help of salivary amylase enzyme.
What effect do hydrolysis enzyme's have on the rate at which large organic molecules break down?
The Enzymes speed up the process in which orgaic molecules breakown. They help the molecules break down. Therefore speeding up the process. Thats the Low-down. Hope it helped :)
What is synthesis of water?
The chemical process by which a molecule of water is removed from the reactants to join the reactants together. Dehydration synthesis takes place when the monomers of organic compounds join together by a chemical reaction to make polymers. Hydrolysis its the opposite reaction of breaking up polymers and is accomplished also by chemical reaction. "The joining of two molecules associated with the removal of a water molecule" -Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology 7th ed.
