HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -The general type of reaction that occurs during the digestion of carbohydrates is called hydrolysis. During a hydrolysis reaction, water is added across a bond in order to break a macromolecule into monomers. The prefix “hydro” means water and “lysis” means to break, so hydrolysis breaks molecular bonds using water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chemical digestion, through a process called hydrolysis, uses water and digestive enzymes to break down the complex molecules. Digestive enzymes speed up the hydrolysis process, which is otherwise very slow.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrolysis is the general type of reaction that takes place in the digestion of carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hydrolysis reactions are the reverse of condensation reactions. 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.
