ATP can break down by hydrolysis (when phosphates are added) Hydrolysis reactions are exergonic, and the reverse of condensation is hydrolysis. (when phosphates are taken away)
condensation reaction
Polymers, my good friend, are formed by condensation. Hydrolysis is when the polymers get taken apart.
Acidic hydrolysis: hydrolysis in an acid solution (pH under 7) Basic hydrolysis: hydrolysis in a basic solution (pH above 7)
In dehydration, water molecules are removed. Hydrolysis is the opposite of this. In hydrolization, water molecules are combined.
Condensation and hydrolysis are almost like opposite reactions. In condensation, two molecules react to form one larger molecule while giving off a smaller molecule such as water (hence the term condensation). The reverse occurs in hydrolysis where a molecule such as water attacks a larger molecule that is susceptible to hydrolysis and breaks it down into two smaller molecules.
both( condensation and hydrolysis) need enzymes to allow the reactions to run to completion. Both involve water usage Both deal with covalent bonds.

Difference Between Condensation and HydrolysisCondensationDuring Condensation two monomers join.In condensation, a hydroxyl (-OH) group is removed from one monomer and a hydrogen (-H) is removed from the other.Condensation Involves a 'dehydration synthesis' because water is removed (dehydration) and a bond is made (synthesis).The proper enzyme is needed for condensation.Macro molecules are built up in cells by condensation.HydrolysisDuring Hydrolysis, a polymer breaks down into two monomers.In hydrolysis, an -OH group from water attaches to one monomer and an -H from water attaches to other monomer.Hydrolysis involves 'hydration' (the addition of water) to break a bond (lysis)The proper enzyme is also needed for hydrolysis.Macro molecules are broken down in cells by hydrolysis

Dehydration Synthesis
Polymers, my good friend, are formed by condensation. Hydrolysis is when the polymers get taken apart.
Hydrolysis reactions break apart dipeptides to make two amino acids. Condensation (dehydration) reactions take two amino acids and make one dipeptide.
Condensation reaction creates a covalent bond between 2 interacting subunits, linking them to each other while hydrolysis reaction is a catabolic reaction in which a water molecule is used to break a covalent bond holding subunits together.
Acidic hydrolysis: hydrolysis in an acid solution (pH under 7) Basic hydrolysis: hydrolysis in a basic solution (pH above 7)
the only difference there is that the soft drink condensation has a few additives in it. other than that there is no difference.
