What is the main difference between hydrolysis and condensation reactions?

• Both reactions do not involve water.

• Hydrolysis uses water to break down molecules, while condensation uses water to join molecules.

• Hydrolysis and condensation both break down molecules.

• Condensation uses water to break down molecules, while hydrolysis uses water to join molecules.
