Question

Do digestive enzymes help complete dehydration or hydrolysis reactions

Answer 1

In dehydration synthesis reactions, a water molecule is formed as a result of generating a covalent bond between two monomeric components in a larger polymer. ... In our bodies, food is first hydrolyzed, or broken down, into smaller molecules by catalytic enzymes in the digestive tract.

Answer 2

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Digestive enzymes are molecules produced by our body and also available in raw foods, which speed up chemical reactions. In digestion, they are responsible for breaking the macromolecules present in food into smaller molecules, thus facilitating their absorption by the intestine, in addition to leaving micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) free and available for the absorption process, nourishing and providing energy to the cells.
