Catabolism of food molecules involves Hydrolysis reaction. It is the chemical bonds,its water breaks one or more chemical bonds.The cleavage of bio-molecules where a water molecule is consumed into component parts.
Hydrolysis reaction break the covalent bonds by consuming a water molecules and dividing its atoms between separate molecules these reactions are catabolic . It gives out energy and its exergonic. In this reaction large molecules are broken down into smaller ones.
There are some examples such as reverse of the condensation reactions described above. The process that dissolve a piece of bread into simple nutrients your body can use like glucose.
Osmosis is the process which is responsible for the transportation of glucose inside the cell. Osmosis is a process in which micro-molecules such as glucose, ions and gases etc go inside the cell through a semi-permeable membrane. This semi-permeable membrane of the cell only allow monosaccharides but not polysaccharides because monosaccharides is small in size while polysaccharides are larger in size.
