Flashcards
Hydrolysis
Hydrolysis
The process where a large molecule is broken down into smaller subunits, often by the addition of a water molecule.
Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration Synthesis
The process where two smaller molecules are joined together to form a larger molecule, often with the removal of a water molecule.
