An ester group is probably the most easily hydrolyzed functional group. Especially at physiologic pH.

Which group of carbohydrates cannot be hydrolyzed to give smaller molecules?

Polysaccharides (such as starch and cellulose) are the group of carbohydrates that cannot be hydrolyzed to give smaller molecules. They consist of long chains of monosaccharides linked together by glycosidic bonds that are not easily broken down by hydrolysis.


Which reason for why esters are hydrolysed easily?

Esters are hydrolyzed easily because they contain a carbonyl group which is electrophilic and prone to nucleophilic attack by water or hydroxide ions. This results in a cleavage of the ester bond, leading to the formation of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. Additionally, esters are often hydrolyzed in the presence of acid or base catalysts, which facilitate the reaction.
