Hydrolysis is the process wherein a covalent bond within a molecule is broken down. A water molecule is used up in the process (hydro=water;lysis=cut/sever) Usually the process results in one of the reaction products having a Hydrogen atom where the bond used to be, and the other having a hydroxyl group (-OH, also known as an alcohol)
In the case of lipids, the molecule itself consists of a glycerol backbone bonded to three long chain fatty acids. Hydrolysis of the lipid results in breaking the fatty acids off, leaving free fatty acids and a glycerol molecule, and using up three water molecules.
This process can be catalyzed under acidic or basic conditions, and is actually how soap is made. Reacting the free fatty acids with some ionic salts actually gives you soap. The left over glycerol is more commonly known as glycerine, which is itself found in a great many products.
What else can I help you with?
Which lipid will give a single molecule of fatty acid when hydrolyzed?
A triglyceride will give a single molecule of fatty acid when hydrolyzed through the process of lipolysis. Triglycerides consist of three fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol molecule. Upon hydrolysis, one fatty acid is released along with glycerol.
Is oil a monosaccharide?
A monosaccharide is a type of sugar that cannot be further hydrolyzed into a simpler form. An oil is not a monosaccharide because it has no sugar content.
What functional group is easily hydrolyzed?
An ester group is probably the most easily hydrolyzed functional group. Especially at physiologic pH.
What is the terms for a waxy or oily organic compound?
if i understand wat you are asking the answer is lipids.
What is another term for lipid hydrolysis?
Lipid hydrolysis can also be referred to as lipid breakdown or lipolysis.
What is a lipid that cannot be hydrolyzed called?
A lipid that cannot be hydrolyzed is called a wax. Waxes are esters of long-chain fatty acids with long-chain alcohols and are resistant to hydrolysis due to their structure. They are commonly found in plants and animals for protective purposes.
Which lipid will give a single molecule of fatty acid when hydrolyzed?
A triglyceride will give a single molecule of fatty acid when hydrolyzed through the process of lipolysis. Triglycerides consist of three fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol molecule. Upon hydrolysis, one fatty acid is released along with glycerol.
A lipid that undergoes hydrolysis yields arachidonic acid and glycerol Was the lipid a fat or an oil?
The lipid was most likely a fat, as fats are made up of triglycerides containing three fatty acid chains and a glycerol molecule. When hydrolyzed, fats break down into fatty acids and glycerol. Oils, on the other hand, are usually liquid at room temperature and are also composed of triglycerides.

What is produced when ATP is hydrolyzed?
When ATP is hydrolyzed ADP and a phosphate group are produced.
Is oil a monosaccharide?
A monosaccharide is a type of sugar that cannot be further hydrolyzed into a simpler form. An oil is not a monosaccharide because it has no sugar content.
Can a monosaccharide be hydrolyzed to simpler carbohydrates?

What would you find in the liquid of hydrolyzed gelatin?
Hydrolyzed gelatin is an incomplete protein. However, it is one of the best sources of the amino acids (protein building blocks) that comprise collagen.in Hydrolyzed gelatin there are These glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, lysine and hydroxylysine.
