Chemical process that breaks bonds using water.
A
Biomolecule
B
Dehydration Synthesis
C
Hydrolysis
D
Protein
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrolysis reactions use water to break down polymers into monomers and when synthesizing a polymer from monomers, is the opposite of dehydration synthesis, which shapes water. Reactions from hydrolysis break bonds and release steam.

Detailed explanation-2: -In hydrolysis reactions, a water molecule is consumed as a result of breaking the covalent bond holding together two components of a polymer.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrolysis reactions use up water molecules to break bonds. In this example, a water molecule (HOH) is used to supply an OH to one side of the breaking bond and an H to the other. Sucrase is one of the many digestive enzymes released into the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hydrolysis involves the reaction of an organic chemical with water to form two or more new substances and usually means the cleavage of chemical bonds by the addition of water.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hydrolysis (/haɪˈdrɒlɪsɪs/; from Ancient Greek hydro-‘water’, and lysis ‘to unbind’) is any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water breaks one or more chemical bonds. The term is used broadly for substitution, elimination, and solvation reactions in which water is the nucleophile.
