   You can easily convert from decay constant to half-life by using the relationship:
 H = ln(2)/D
  where
 H = half life
  D = decay constant
 ln(2) = natural logarithm of 2.
So
 H = ln(2)/D
 H = 0.693147181/2.88x10^-5 1/year
  H = 2.41x10^4 year
 H = 24100 year</span>

True or false? Enzymes in the digestive tract catalyze hydrolysis reactions.
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The given statement is true.

Enzymes which are present in the digestive tract such as salivary amylase, pepsin, trypsin, et cetera mainly catalyze the hydrolysis reaction.

The hydrolysis reaction is the reaction by which large molecules are broken down into smaller molecules with the help of water.

Most of the complex molecules or nutrients such as starch, protein et cetera are broken down into their respective smaller units with the help of hydrolysis reaction.

For example, lactase catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose into glucose and galactose.
