Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction or process in which a chemical compound is broken down by reaction with water.[1][2] This is the type of reaction that is used to break down polymers. Water is added in this reaction.

Hydrolysis
This is a type of reaction in which a macromolecule is broken down into smaller molecules.
It is the reverse of condensation (above).
hydrolysis - reaction in which water breaks the covalently linked compound A-B
hydrophilic - water "loving," hydrophilic molecule are soluble in water.
hydrophobic - water "fearing," hydrophobic molecules are quite insoluble in water ...
hydrolysis The decomposition of a chemical compound by the addition of water; the splitting of a molecule into its groupings so that the split products acquire hydrogen and hydroxyl groups.
During hydrolysis (hydro-,"water";lysis-,"break") a water molecule is added to the polymer and cleaves the covalent bond holding the two monomers. The reverse of a hydrolysis reaction is a condensation reaction.

The sequential hydrolysis by 3'-5' exonuclease III is thereby blocked by a boranophosphate, resulting in fragments that terminate in a nucleoside boranophosphate.
Cellular enzymes carry out condensation (and the reversal of the reaction, hydrolysis of polymers). Condensation involves a dehydration synthesis because a water is removed (dehydration) and a bond is made (synthesis).
X-gal is a colorless compound but upon hydrolysis by beta-galactosidase releases an indolyl moiety. This product is not colored, but dimerizes after oxidation to form an insoluble and highly colored indigo dye.
acetylcholinesterase (AChE) - an enzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into acetate and choline. Expression of AChE can serve as a marker of skeletal muscle differentiation.
Phosphoryl transfer potential A measure of the tendency of a phosphorylated compound to transfer a phosphate to another compound; presented as the .G°' of hydrolysis of the phosphate compound; the more negative the .
Pepsin is an enzyme that controls the hydrolysis of proteins into peptides. The stomach also mechanically churns the food. Chyme, the mix of acid and food in the stomach, leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine.
