Food is digested through chemical reactions involving the addition of water molecules.This process is known as:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrolysis is the process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones by adding water molecules. This is the process by which food is broken down and digested in our bodies. Reduction is the gain of electrons, oxidation is the loss of electrons, and dehydration is the removal of water molecules. None of these processes fully describe the chemical reactions involved in breaking down food.
