Q
Example of hydrolysis and condensation
A
- U eat a taco containing beef, a source of protein
- Hydrolysis reactions occur in digestive system resulting in amino acids
- Amino acids are absorbed by blood and taken into body cells
- DNA in body cell directs specific condensation reactions to produce a specific protein from amino acids
