Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Macromolecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids, are broken down into their smaller subunits through hydrolysis reactions. In hydrolysis, a molecule of water is used to break apart the bonds between the subunits of the macromolecule. This process releases energy that can be used by the body for various cellular activities.
