In order to answer this question, let's talk about hydrolysis and dehydration reactions.
00:06
Remember that in hydrolysis reactions, you're going to break molecules down and generally releases energy.
00:19
Okay, so in this case, you're going to break polymers down to monomers.
00:30
And you're going to release energy usually here.
00:32
And in this case, you're going to use water here.
00:37
You're going to use water.
00:45
You're going to use energy or you're going to use water here and you're going to also release energy.
00:53
You're going to produce energy.
00:55
And this is in contrast with dehydration synthesis.
00:58
In a dehydration synthesis, you're going to produce a polymer from monomers.
01:11
And here you're going to release water.
01:15
You're going to release water in this case.
01:19
So, this question says, in a hydrolysis reaction, option a says water is removed as a reaction proceeds...
