The given forms of digestion represent hydrolysis.

<h3>What is hydrolysis?</h3>

Hydrolysis: A chemical decomposition process in which bonds are broken by the addition of water. Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy. Biopolymers are ingested and hydrolyzed in the gastrointestinal tract to form small molecules that can be absorbed by cells and further broken down to release energy.

  1. Sucrose is hydrolyzed into its monosaccharides fructose and glucose by the enzyme sucrase, an α-glucosidase in the human small intestine.
  2. Hydrolysis of lactose gives galactose and glucose. Galactose is converted to glucose by the action of an NAD-dependent enzyme called UDP-galactose-4-epimerase.
  3. Starch is a condensation polymer of glucose monomer units. Large starch molecules react with water and break down into smaller sugar molecules. The starch is said to be hydrolyzed.
