Question

In a hydrolysis reaction, ___________. I this process, water is ___________.

Answer 1

Answer:

c. A polymer breaks up to form monomers.... consumed

Explanation:

Hydrolysis, hydro (water), lysis (breakage), corresponds to a chemical process that involves the breaking of a molecule in the presence of water.

During hydrolysis, a particular molecule (a polymer) breaks down into smaller molecules (monomers) and completes with the ions resulting from the water molecule, resulting in the formation of a different molecule from the original, resulting in a chemical reaction such as saponification of acids. fatty acids and other esters, sugar inversion and protein breakdown.
