Answer:

Hydrolysis adds a water molecule into the middle of a polymer chain. The water splits into an OH- and H+ group and they bond with either end of the now-split polymer, which will continue to occur rapidly until the polymer is broken down into monomers.

The opposite of this is dehydration synthesis, when the H+ and OH- groups bond and form a water molecule, leaving the ends of the monomers to bond on their own and create a polymer.

Identify the answer below that is NOT a function of a protein.
Zinaida [17]

Insulation and long-term energy storage

The function of FATS is insulation and long-term energy storage. Excess glucose in the body is converted to fats and then stored in certain location like liver, around the heart, and under the skin. The fats are converted back to glucose during starvation. Fats are deposited under the skin to provide insulation against heat loss.

Explanation:

Proteins are the mains structural molecules in the body. They are coded for by the DNA in cells that instruct how these proteins should be manufactured. Proteins make up the muscle tissues, most enzymes, antibodies, hormones, hair, nails, and etcetera. Protein is broken down for energy as a last resort during total starvation (when fat deposits have been exhausted) and when this happens it leads to body wastage. Glucose is the main energy source of cells.
