Water is involved in the breakdown of:
- peptide bonds (proteine breakdown into amino acids
- glycosidic bonds (starch breakdown into sugars)
- lipoic bonds (fat breakdown into fatty acids and glycerol)

∙ 12y agoA decent example is the breakdown of an ester in water to a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in an inverse Fischer process.
RCOOR' + H2O -> RCOOH + R'OH
Hydrolysis is the use of a water molecule to split something. It shouldn't be confused with the electrolysis of water, the breaking down of a water molecule to hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of an electric current.

∙ 12y agoHydrolysis of:
- peptide bond (between two amino acids, as in proteins)
R-C-NH--C(=O)-R + H-OH --> R-C-NH-H + HO-C(=O)-R
- ester bond (between acid and alcohol, as in lipids)
R-C-O--C(=O)-R + H-OH --> -C-OH + HO-C(=O)-R
- glycosidic bond (between two glycosides, as in disaccharides like cane/milk/malt sugar)
R-O-C--O-C-R + HO-H --> R-O-C-OH + H-O-C-R
Legend:
- the hydrolyzed bond is marked as '--'
- R- can be either one or more H- or C-atoms bond to the C atom presented
- H-OH is the hydrolysing water molecule. The hydrolysis is almost always catalysed by acid.

∙ 12y agoits kinda like hydrogen or hydro oxide i really don't know i just wanted to type ha ha

Hydrolysis
Is hydrolysis the same as digestion?
Hydrolysis is one chemical process that accomplishes chemical digestion. There are other chemical and mechanical digestive processes.
The breakdown of a polysaccharide into monosaccharides is an example of .?
It is an example of hydrolysis.
Table sugar breaking down into glucose and fructose is an example of what?
Hydrolysis, which is a type of chemical decomposition in which a compound is split into other compounds by reacting with water. Refer to the related links below that illustrates the hydrolysis of sucrose.
What two processes are necessary to build or separate macromolecules?
This process is called polymerization.
What process usally requires water?
For example dissolution, hydrolysis, etc.
How are the processes of dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis related to the organic compuounds such as carbohydrates lipids and proteins?
The process of dehydration, synthesis and hydrolysis are related to the organic compounds such as the carbohydrates, lipids and proteins because they are involved in their digestion, egestion and storage.
What is a compound composed of adenosine and three phosphate groups that supplies energy for many biochemical cellular processes by undergoing enzymatic hydrolysis?
ATP
The formation of ADP and inorganic phosphate from ATP and water is an example of what kind of reaction?
hydrolysis
When a chemical reaction releases energy it is called what reaction?
An exergonic reaction is a catabolic reaction where large molecules are split into smaller molecules in processes such as hydrolysis.
What is the process when cells break down molecules?
For example thermal decomposition.
