Explanation:

Hydrolysis is a reaction where a water molecule is used to break down a larger molecule. A water molecule splits during this process to provide the necessary hydrogen and hydroxyl groups for the breakdown of the larger molecule. A water molecule does not form and smaller molecules do not combine to form a larger molecule in hydrolysis.

Answer:

A large molecule is broken down, A water molecule splits
