Question
choose all of the molecules that could be produced by a hydrolysis reaction. a cellulose molecule synthesized from glucose monomers simple sugars digested from starch in a pretzel amino acids from digesting the protein in chicken water molecules formed by taking h and o from other molecules
Hydrolysis is a reaction that breaks down larger molecules into smaller ones by adding water. Cellulose synthesis is a polymerization (dehydration - synthesis) reaction, not hydrolysis. Starch is a polysaccharide and its digestion into simple sugars is a hydrolysis reaction. Protein digestion into amino - acids is also a hydrolysis reaction. Formation of water molecules from other molecules is not a hydrolysis reaction.
