Hydrolysis is important in the delivery of food and nutrients to the body. Explain how it occurs, and use?

Could you please explain a process in which it is used in the human body? Also can you please explain how important it is for the human body?Hydrolysis is important in the delivery of food and nutrients to the body. Explain how it occurs, and use?
Hydrolysis is the breakdown of complex nutrients into smaller ones. Basically Hydrolysis is digestion. When you add H20 molecule to a carbohydrate, protein, or fat you break it down into smaller molecules depending on its base(monosaccharides, amino acids etc.)



This is very important because without hydrolysis then the nutrients from the food we eat would not be able to be absorbed by our small intestine and we would not be able to make energy!Hydrolysis is important in the delivery of food and nutrients to the body. Explain how it occurs, and use?
ryan is correct there, if i can take his second point on basically large molecules like disaccarides need to be broken down into a monosaccaride aka glucose for the production of ATP which is energy basically, the glucose goes into the cell where it goes through Glycolysis which means it is converted into pyruvate and some ATP molecules, then it goes through the Link Reaction, Krebs Cycle and finally the electron transport chain, sorry i would explain these but they have a bit of detail in then, if you want email me and i will go through them with you
