Detailed explanation-1: -Dissolving a salt of a weak acid or base in water is an example of a hydrolysis reaction. Strong acids may also be hydrolyzed. For example, dissolving sulfuric acid in water yields hydronium and bisulfate.

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: -In biochemistry, enzymatic hydrolysis is a process in which enzymes facilitate the cleavage of bonds in molecules with the addition of the elements of water (i.e. hydrolysis). It plays an important role in the digestion of food. It may be used to help provide renewable energy, as with cellulosic ethanol.

Detailed explanation-4: -Through the gastrointestinal system, the nutritional substances, minerals, vitamins, and fluids, enter the body. Lipids, proteins, and complex carbohydrates are broken down into small and absorbable units (digested), principally in the small intestine.
