Question

22 multiple choice 1 point which of the following is an example of hydrolysis? combining glucose molecules into starch splitting a protein into amino acids forming triglycerides from fatty acids synthesizing dna from nucleotides

Explanation:

Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction where a compound is broken down by reacting with water. Proteins are polymers of amino - acids. Splitting a protein into amino acids is a hydrolysis reaction as water is used to break the peptide bonds between amino acids. Combining glucose into starch, forming triglycerides from fatty acids, and synthesizing DNA from nucleotides are all dehydration synthesis reactions where water is removed during the formation of the larger molecule.

Answer:

Splitting a protein into amino acids
