chemical digestion
A hydrolysis reaction is a reaction that breaks covalent bonds by the addition of water molecules.
Two examples of reactions that involve water are hydrolysis and hydration. Hydrolysis is a reaction where water is used to break down a compound into its constituent molecules or ions. Hydration refers to the process of adding water molecules to a substance, resulting in the formation of a hydrated compound.
Monomers are broken up through hydrolysis reactions. This is when the monomers break and are "capped" with a hydrogen or a hydroxyl (if not, then such molecules can do damage to the body). This process is aided by enzymes (proteins) which catalyze the reactions.
There are two possible answers to your question. The process in which food is broken down into smaller, soluble substances is digestion. However I think you might be after the type of chemical reaction involved in digestion, which is hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is the breakdown of a larger molecule into smaller molecules by reacting with water. So, for example, maltose is broken down into glucose by hydrolysis reactions, and proteins are broken down into amino acids by hydrolysis reactions. See http://www.biotopics.co.uk/as/disaccharidehydrolysis.html for a simple animation of the hydrolysis of maltose.
no . three fatty acid molecules and glycerol join by the condensation ( release of 3 water molecules) reactions to produce tri acyl glycerol (fat) as far as hydrolysis is concerned its the process in which water molecule is used up to break down the compound. Mayur parmar rajkot ,(gujarat)

dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules. hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.
This process is called hydrolysis.
This is called hydrolysis
Hydrolysis and other chemical reactions are used during the process of digestion to break large molecules down into their smaller components. Hydrolytic reactions are exergonic reactions.
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.

Heating dentured the egg protein molecules, unorganized condensation reactions then formed bonds in the drying egg, and soaking eventually resulted in hydrolysis reactions where the water broke these bonds
Enzymes are the catalytic compounds (proteins) that facilitate organic chemical reactions - NOTE neither lipids or enzymes CAUSE molecules to change.
