Hydrolysis in a chemistry a double decomposition reaction with aqua(Water) as one of the reactants. Thus, if a compound is denoted by the formula xy in which y and x are atoms then water is represented by the formula HOH, the hydrolysis reaction may be represented by the reversible chemical equation xy + HOH ⇌ xH + yOH. The reactants other than water, and the products of hydrolysis, may be neutral molecules-as in most hydrolyses involving organic compounds as in hydrolyses of salts, acids, and bases.

What type of chemical reaction is ATP H2O - ADP Pi energy?
It is a hydrolysis reaction.
Is sucrose a hydrolysis reaction or a condensation reaction?
condensation reaction
What type of reaction monomers must undergo to form cellulose?
This reaction is called polymerization.
Polysaccharides are split apart to form monosaccharides in a reaction called?
This is a smart question. But the answer is simple it is a hydrogen reaction. - Hydrolysis.
Are hydrolysis reactions catabolic reactions?
Hydrolysis decomposes carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Hydrolosis is not anabolic, it is catabolic. A catabolic reaction is where the bond between monomers is broken by the enzyme and the addition of water.
Is hydrolysis a chemcial reaction?
Yes, hydrolysis is a chemical reaction.
What type of chemical reaction is ATP H2O - ADP Pi energy?
It is a hydrolysis reaction.
What is another name for hydrolysis?
Another name for hydrolysis is reaction. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction where water reacts with a compound. This produces other compounds.
What is a reaction that breaks down compounds by the addition of water?
Hydrolysis is the type of reaction occurring when complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones by the addition of water.Example:Hydrolysis of a molecule of a disaccharide, such as sucrose, into two molecules of a monosaccharide, such as glucose.C12H22O11 + H2O ---> 2C6H12O6
Is sucrose a hydrolysis reaction or a condensation reaction?
condensation reaction
In which reaction mixture did hydrolysis of starch occur?
The Starch Hydrolysis by Amylase is the reaction mixture that leads to the hydrolysis of starch. This usually occurs during the metabolic reactions.
What type of reaction monomers must undergo to form cellulose?
This reaction is called polymerization.
What is Opposite of a decomposition reaction?
Dehydration Synthesis
Name that reaction by which a chemical compound is broken down due to reaction with water?
When a compound is broken down by the reaction with water, this is termed hydrolysis.
Polysaccharides are split apart to form monosaccharides in a reaction called?
This is a smart question. But the answer is simple it is a hydrogen reaction. - Hydrolysis.
What type of reaction breaks covalent bonds by the addition of water molecules?
A hydrolysis reaction is a reaction that breaks covalent bonds by the addition of water molecules.
What kind of reaction is involved in the formation of a polymer?
Hydrolysis Reaction
