hydrolysis
During hydrolysis, one water molecule is broken down for each bond that is cleaved. For example, in the hydrolysis of a disaccharide into two monosaccharides, one water molecule is used to break the bond between the two sugar molecules.
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.
Hydrolysis of a disaccharide will break it down into two monosaccharides. Disaccharides are composed of two sugar molecules linked together, and hydrolysis breaks this bond, resulting in the release of individual monosaccharide units.

Hydrolysis is a process of breaking the bonds in a water molecule into their component gases, hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrolysis is not an acid.
This decomposition process involves breaking the glycosidic bond between glucose and fructose in the sucrose molecule. This hydrolysis reaction requires the addition of a water molecule to break the bond, resulting in the formation of glucose and fructose molecules.
Hydrolysis is adding a molecule of water to a bond to break or reform the bond. Enzymes, of a certain type, can do this.
The products of hydrolysis are typically the breakdown of a larger molecule into smaller units through the addition of water. For example, hydrolysis of a polysaccharide like starch results in the formation of monosaccharides like glucose. Similarly, hydrolysis of a triglyceride yields fatty acids and glycerol.
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.
When certain molecular crystals are added to water, they are able to dissolve and break down into their original molecules, if they are affected by the interatomic hydrogen bonds that water induces. A simple answer: dissolving.

The general equation for the hydrolysis of a lipid molecule is: Lipid + water → fatty acid(s) + glycerol
The reverse of dehydration synthesis is hydrolysis, a chemical reaction that breaks down molecules by adding water. In hydrolysis, a water molecule is split into a hydrogen ion and a hydroxide ion, which are added to the molecule being broken down.
Hydrolysis produces water as a byproduct, while dehydration consumes water as a reactant. In hydrolysis, a water molecule is split to break a chemical bond. In dehydration, a water molecule is required to form a new chemical bond.

Disaccharides are broken down by hydrolysis, which is the addition of water molecule, to turn into two monosaccharides
