Hey there! :D

Look at the word hydrolysis. Hydro= water Lysis = split. (Root words) 

So, water (in terms of the word) is added to help split and breakdown macromolecules. 

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Water

Explanation:

Hydrolysis is the breaking of a molecule by the action of water. The water molecule releases H + and OH- ions into the solution and when a molecule is broken down hydrogen from the water molecule is transferred to one of the fragments of that molecule and the hydroxyl to another, thereby forming new compounds.  Therefore, we can conclude that during hydrolysis, the presence of water is required to decompose food macromolecules.

This action of water does not happen alone, it requires high pressure and temperature. In addition to accelerating the hydrolysis, an accelerating agent should be used, the most important being acids, enzymes and alkalis.

How does mass and volume affect sinking and floating? Please don't plagiarize.... ​
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density is determined by an object's mass and volume. If two objects take up the same volume, but have one has more mass, then it also has a higher density.

If the velocity of a wave is 12 m/s and its frequency is 600 hertz, what would be its wavelength?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

<em>»</em><em> </em><em>λ </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>0</em><em>2</em><em>m</em>

Explanation:

Given :

Velocity of the wave {v}= 12 m/s

Frequency {f} = 600 Hz

Apply Wavelength formula :

• λ =  \frac{v}{f}

→ λ = \frac{12}{600}

→ λ = \frac{1}{50}

→ λ = 0.02m
