It is known as lipolysis. This is the process where water is used to divide the bond between the glycerol and fatty acids. Once lipolysis has occurred, water may be taken out to bond them together again to form a new triglyceride.

What is salt hydrolysis?
the reaction in which cation or anions of salts reacts with water to produce acid or base is called salt hydrolysis.
Can be stored as triglycerides in your adipose tissue?
Knowing that animal triglycerides are generally called "fats" may help you.
Triglycerides are the monomers for what type of macromolecule?
Triglycerides are macromolecules called lipids, better known as fats or oils. Triglycerides are named for the monomer components they contain. "Tri" means three, and triglycerides are built from monomers of three fatty acids bonded to a glycerol.
When two amino acids break apart they require water What is this process called?
Amino acids must go through photosynthesis
Why is it called hydrolysis?
Hydrolysis is the breaking of bonds by adding water. The prefix hydro refers to water. The suffix lysis means breaking.
What hydrolysis test would a positive test result be expected for the etiologic agent of acne Propionibacterium acnes?
Triglycerides hydrolysis test because this bacterium feeds on fatty acids.
How is glycerine made?
The traditional method of making glycerine is the hydrolysis of natural animal and vegetable fats, which are primarily triglycerides of fatty acids.
Where does hydrolysis of triglyceride occur in our body?
In the duodenum lipases attack the triglycerides
Disaccharides are broken down into their component monosaccharides by.?
The decomposition of any nutrient is called hydrolysis, in which a molecule of water is broken and "caps" the ends of the two monomers. The opposite of hydrolysis is called a condensation (or dehydration) reaction.
Polysaccharides are split apart to form monosaccharides in a reaction called?
This is a smart question. But the answer is simple it is a hydrogen reaction. - Hydrolysis.
Base hydrolysis of an ester is called?
SAPONIFICATION
When carbohydrates are broken down what is it called?
hydrolysis
What is salt hydrolysis?
the reaction in which cation or anions of salts reacts with water to produce acid or base is called salt hydrolysis.
What are the processes in the water cycle called?
hydrolysis of water
What compounds make a fatty acid?
Fatty acids are produced by the hydrolysis of the ester linkages in a fat or biological oil (both of which are triglycerides), with the removal of glycerol. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid
Why are triglycerides called a neutral fat?
Triglycerides is just another word for fats. The "tri" means 3 fatty acids and glyceride refers to glycerin that the fatty acids are bonded to.
Can be stored as triglycerides in your adipose tissue?
Knowing that animal triglycerides are generally called "fats" may help you.
