[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
occurrence in hydrolysis
|
|
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
|
Explanation:
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: -hydrolysis: A chemical process of decomposition involving the splitting of a bond by the addition of water.
Detailed explanation-3: -In hydrolysis the addition of a water molecule (with the help of a hydrolase enzyme) breaks the covalent bond holding the monomers together.
