ATP + H2O -> ADP + Pi + Energy! this is an example of hydrolysis. Water is added to cleave (lyse) an inorganic phosphate off of ATP. Here's a good link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bv.fcgi?rid=mboc4.figgrp.269

Process is happening in this reaction?

Dehydration. hydrolysis


How can be dehydration synthesis reversed?

In chemistry, condensation reactions are when covalent bonds are formed between molecules and a water molecule is generated as a byproduct. The reverse of this process is hydrolysis, whereby water is consumed in order to cleave a covalent bond.


What monomers are produced from hydrolysis?

Monomers are not joined together by the process of hydrolysis. Dehydration synthesis, or condensation reaction is the process of chemically joining monomers.


What is the process involved in changing starch into glucose?

enzymatic hydrolysis


Is dehydration synthesis catabolic and hydrolysis is anabolic true or false?

False. Dehydration synthesis is an anabolic process where molecules are joined together to form a larger molecule, while hydrolysis is a catabolic process where a larger molecule is broken down into smaller molecules by the addition of water.


What is an antonym for dehydration synthesis?

An antonym for dehydration synthesis is hydrolysis. While dehydration synthesis involves the removal of water to join molecules together, hydrolysis involves the addition of water to break down complex molecules into simpler ones. This process is essential in biological systems for digesting carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.


Disaccharides are converted into monosaccharides by the process of?

Disaccharides are converted into monosaccharides by the process of hydrolysis. In this process, a water molecule is used to break the glycosidic bond that holds the two sugar molecules together, resulting in the formation of two monosaccharides.


What two processes are necessary to build or separate macromolecules?

The two processes necessary to build or separate macromolecules are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis. Dehydration synthesis involves removing water molecules to bond monomers together and form a larger macromolecule. Hydrolysis involves adding water molecules to break down a macromolecule into individual monomers.


What chemical process changes a monosaccharide into a disaccharide?

Hydrolysis - Breaking down complex molecules by the chemical addition of water


What process usally requires water?

For example dissolution, hydrolysis, etc.


When glycogen is formed from monosaccharides it occurs by a process called hydrolysis?

No. The word hydrolysis has -lysis which means to break down. But if you are making glycogen you are building up. In this case dehydration occurs which is the opposite of hydrolysis (breaking down using water). Water is a by product in dehydration.


Is hydrolysis the synthesis of giant molecules from components of repeating units?

No, hydrolysis is the breakdown of giant molecules into their component units by the addition of water molecules. The opposite process, where giant molecules are synthesized from repeating units, is known as condensation or dehydration synthesis.
