Question

1 multiple choice 1 point which of the following best describes a hydrolysis reaction? water is released during bond formation any reaction that breaks bonds two monomers are joined water is used to break a bond 2 multiple choice 1 point the molecule shown in this diagram is: a nucleotide an amino acid a glycerol

Explanation:

1. Hydrolysis is a reaction where water is used to break a bond. In dehydration synthesis, water is released during bond - formation. Not all bond - breaking reactions are hydrolysis. Joining two monomers is a synthesis reaction.
2. The structure shown has an amino group ($-NH_2$), a carboxyl group ($-COOH$), and a central carbon with a hydrogen. This is the general structure of an amino acid. A nucleotide has a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen - containing base. Glycerol has a three - carbon structure with hydroxyl groups. A carboxyl group is just $-COOH$.

Answer:

1. Water is used to break a bond
2. An amino acid
