Hidrolizálhatók

Hidrolizálhatók is a Hungarian term that translates to "hydrolyzable" in English. It describes substances that can undergo hydrolysis, a chemical reaction where a molecule is broken down by the addition of water. This process typically involves the splitting of a bond in the substance and the addition of a hydrogen atom to one of the resulting fragments and a hydroxyl group to the other.

Many common chemical compounds are hydrolyzable. For example, salts of weak acids or weak bases are hydrolyzable in water. Esters, amides, and acetals are also examples of organic compounds that can be hydrolyzed. In biological systems, many important molecules like polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids are hydrolyzed by enzymes to break them down into their constituent monomers. The hydrolysis of starch, for instance, yields glucose. The reverse reaction of hydrolysis is condensation, where water is removed to form a larger molecule. The concept of hydrolyzability is fundamental in understanding chemical reactions in aqueous environments and is relevant across various fields including chemistry, biology, and environmental science.
