Hydrolysis vs Dehydration Synthesis Reactions

What is the process of breaking down complex molecules to form simpler ones and often releasing energy?

• Anabolism

• Hydrolysis

• Dehydration synthesis

• Catabolism

What is the chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water?

• dehydration
• oxidation
• combustion
• hydrolysis

Which type of reaction removes water as larger molecules are formed?

• Dehydration synthesis
• Oxidation
• Photosynthesis
• Hydrolysis

What is the molecule that much of the energy released by catabolism is transferred to?

• Glycerol

• Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

• Fructose

• Glucose
