The process of hydrolysis may be represented by which of the following? A. H + Cl − + Na + OH − → Na + + Cl − + H 2 O B. C 12 H 22 O 11 + H 2 O → 2C 6 H 12 O 6 C. alanine + glycine → alanylglycine + H 2 O D. glucose → glycogenesis → glycogen
Option B. C 12 H 22 O 11 + H 2 O → 2C 6 H 12 O Hydrolysis refers to the use of a water molecule to cut up a bigger mol- ecule in smaller ones. Here a disaccharide is being cut up into monosac- charide molecule.
