Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

Hydrolysis is a type of chemical reaction where a water molecule is utilized or consumed to rupture the chemical bonds. In these reactions, water acts as a nucleophile and separate the larger molecules into its components.

In the given question, the process of cellulolysis or the breakdown of cellulose to smaller polysaccharide like cellodextrins or glucose units is a hydrolytic reaction.  This reaction requires an ionic solvent as cellulose molecules bind strongly to each other and cellulolysis Is difficult.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

What happens in the G2 phase of the cell cycle?
balu736 [363]
The Best Answer :
 <span>"G2 phase is the third, final, and usually the shortest subphase during interphase within the cell cycle in which the cell undergoes a period of rapid growth to prepare for mitosis. It follows successful completion of DNA synthesis and chromosomal replication during the S phase, and occurs during a period of often four to five hours. This far into interphase the nucleus is well defined, bound by a nuclear envelope and contains at least one nucleolus. Although chromosomes have been replicated they cannot yet be distinguished individually because they are still in the form of loosely packed chromatin fibers. The G2 phase prepares the cell for mitosis (M phase) which is initiated by prophase. 
At the end of this gap phase is a control checkpoint (G2 checkpoint) to determine if the cell can proceed to enter M phase and divide. The G2 checkpoint prevents cells from entering mitosis with DNA damaged since the last division, providing an opportunity for DNA repair and stopping the proliferation of damaged cells. Because the G2 checkpoint helps to maintain genomic stability, it is an important focus in understanding the molecular causes of cancer."</span>
