In Chemistry, hydrolysis is the addition of one or more water molecules to another molecule, usually to create two different compounds. The opposite of hydrolysis (the removal of one water molecule usually from two different compounds to form one single compound) is known as condensation. In Biology, hydrolysis (and condensation) have the same meaning as in Chemistry. Hydrolysis is usually and most commonly (at least as far as my knowledge concerns) used for the breakdown of ester links in lipids, glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides and peptide bonds in polypeptide molecules. Condensation reactions occur for the opposite outcome.
biological chemical hydrolysis is in my opinion acid rain.
addition of water
The hydrolysis of ATP to ADP is used to drive a reaction in metabolism.
Degradation and some oxidation to smaller molecules
For example thermal decomposition.
Dehydration Synthesis
The hydrolysis of ATP is ADP
The hydrolysis of ATP to ADP is used to drive a reaction in metabolism.
It is an endoenzyme because its hydrolysis occurs within the cell for metabolism
Degradation and some oxidation to smaller molecules
For example thermal decomposition.

Carbohydrates are converted to energy by the process of hydrolysis
metabolism is the sum total of all the chemical reactions going on in our body. analytic reactions like hydrolysis sometimes produce water as a by- or waste-product. although this is in a very small amount, it may help in the hydration of our body.
Acidic hydrolysis: hydrolysis in an acid solution (pH under 7) Basic hydrolysis: hydrolysis in a basic solution (pH above 7)
hydrolysis
in the hydrolysis of sucrose a catalyst such as sucrase must be applied
Hydrolysis. Polymers are broken down into monomers in a process known as hydrolysis
Hydrolysis is a chemical process.
