Answer 1

Answer:

Hydrolysis  is the reverse of a dehydration reaction, breaks bonds between monomers, and adds a molecule of water.

Explanation:

Hydrolysis is defined as chemical reaction in which water molecule is added to break compound into two new compounds.

For example hydrolysis of esters gives 1 molecule of alcohol and 1 molecule of carboxylic acid.

$RCOOR'+H_2O\overset{H^+}\rightarrow RCOOH+R'OH$
