Definition1/8
Hydrolysis is the opposite to condensation. A large molecule is split into smaller sections by breaking a bond, adding -H to one section and -OH to the other. The products are simpler substances. Since it involves the addition of water, this explains why it is called hydrolysis, meaning splitting by water. A-B + H2O --> A-H + B-OH
