Hydrolysis is the process by which large polymers are reduces through the enzymatic addition of water. The opposite process, the creation of polymers through the enzymatic removal of water is know as dehydration (As one H and an OH are split out and form water).

What is the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones be absorbed by the cells called?
Digestion is the breakdown of large food molecules into smaller molecules. The digested molecules are then absorbed into the bloodstream to be transported to the different parts of the body.
What materials are expelled from cells during exocytosis?
Food molecules and waste material
What do large insoluble molecules get broken down into?
Most large insoluble molecules get broken down in the digestive system to small (simpler) soluble molecules.
What molecules use exocytosis?
Large molecules use exocytosis =D
What process break down large molecules into smaller molecules?
Hydrolysis
What is the breakdown of large molecule by the enzymatic addition of water is?
hydrolysis
Enzymes split large molecules into two or more smaller molecules by adding water through which type of reaction?
Hydrolysis is the reaction that stems from the breakdown of large molecules by the enzymatic addition of water. Hydrolysis is step leading to the degradation of the substance. It is a chemical reaction in which a molecule of water is added to a substance. At times water and the substance will split and one part of the parent molecule will receive one hydrogen ion.
What is the principal function of mechanical digestion?
breakdown of large molecules to smaller ones by the addition of water
What is the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones be absorbed by the cells called?
Digestion is the breakdown of large food molecules into smaller molecules. The digested molecules are then absorbed into the bloodstream to be transported to the different parts of the body.
What process uses enzymes to breakdown large molecules to smaller absorbable molecules?
chemical digestion
Which breakdown of large molecules of food for absorption?
I think chemical digestion
What happen when you digestive food?
Digestion is the breakdown of large food molecules into small, water-soluble food molecules that can be absorbed.
How are large molecules broken down into glucose molecules?
Large carbohydrates are broken down by hydrolysis, or the addition of water molecules.
The breakdown of large complex molecules into smaller simpler ones are?
Catabolism is the breakdown of larger, more complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones.Energy is released and some is trapped and made available for work.
What is the breakdown of large food molecules into smaller molecules colled?
Physical digestion is the term for breaking down large food molecules into small molecules. Mechanical digestion and physical digestion mean the same thing.
The breakdown of large food molecules into their basic building blocks by enzymes is called?
phagocytosis
Molecules which serve as chemicals to make reaction work- like the breakdown of food molecules?
They are called enzymes. They aren't necessarily considered molecules, but I suppose they are, perhaps very large ones. These enzymes act as a catalyst to speed the decompositions along. Stomach acid helps by oxidising the food as well as creating the environment for the proteins to function.
