Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrolysis reactions use water to breakdown polymers into monomers and is the opposite of dehydration synthesis, which forms water when synthesizing a polymer from monomers. Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Usually hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule of water is added to a substance. Sometimes this addition causes both the substance and water molecule to split into two parts. In such reactions, one fragment of the target molecule (or parent molecule) gains a hydrogen ion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrolysis reactions create polymers from monomers; and dehydration reactions create monomers from polymers. Dehydration reactions create polymers from monomers; hydrolysis reactions break down polymers.
