Question
[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
|
|
monomers are released by the addition of a water molecule, adding OH to one monomer and H to the other
|
|
|
monomers are joined by removal of OH from one monomer and removal of H from the other at the site of bond formation
|
|
|
reverse process:polymers are broken down or digested to their monomers
|
|
|
the water molecule is added to each bond, bond is broken, releasing the monomers
|
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In a hydrolysis reaction, a larger molecule forms two (or more) smaller molecules and water is consumed as a reactant. Hydrolysis ("hydro” = water and “lysis” = break) involves adding water to one large molecule to break it into multiple smaller molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -3.6. 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-4: -In hydrolysis the addition of a water molecule (with the help of a hydrolase enzyme) breaks the covalent bond holding the monomers together.
