Detailed explanation-1: -covalent bond. Hydrolysis is the reaction that breaks down polymers into monomer units.

Detailed explanation-2: -In condensation the formation of water is usually accompanied by the growth in the chain of the polymer; in hydrolysis the reaction goes the opposite way where the reaction with a water molecule results in the breakage of already formed polymer bonds.

Detailed explanation-3: -A hydrolysis reaction is a reaction in which one molecule breaks apart to form multiple smaller molecules. Acidic hydrolysis of an ester gives a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. Basic hydrolysis (saponification) of an ester gives a carboxylate salt and an alcohol.
