Answer to Question 1

A condensation reaction takes place when 2 molecules are joined together. This results in the formation and release of a water molecule. The opposite type of reaction, called hydrolysis, can split molecules apart. During hydrolysis, a molecule of water is used to break chemical bonds. Condensation and hydrolysis play important roles in digestionthe breaking down of large moleculesand metabolismthe synthesis of compounds that the body needs.
