biology, many complementary processes exist. Explain how condensation reactions are
complementary to hydrolysis reactions. What will be an ideal response?
ANS:In
condensation reactions, a hydroxyl ion is removed from one reactant while a hydrogen ion is
removed from the other (collectively forming water). This allows the two reactants to bind. In
hydrolysis reactions, reactants are separated by adding a hydroxyl ion to one reactant and a hydrogen
ion to the other, using a water molecule.
