Question

Which reaction(s) would successfully break down a biological macromolecule into its subunit monomers? A Option A: Condensation reaction B Option B: Dehydration reactions and condensation reactions C Option C: Dehydration reaction D Option D: Hydrolysis reaction

Answer 1

The correction option is D, HYDROLYSIS REACTION.
Hydrolysis reaction is a type of reaction in which a large molecule is split into its constituents monomers by breaking of chemical bonds through the addition of water. It is called hydrolysis because it involves addition of water.
