hydrolysäämällä

Hydrolysäämällä is a Finnish term that translates to "by hydrolyzing" or "through hydrolysis." Hydrolysis is a fundamental chemical process in which a molecule of water is added to a substance, causing the substance to break down into two or more parts. This reaction typically involves the breaking of a covalent bond. In many biological contexts, hydrolysis is a key mechanism for breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones that can be absorbed or utilized by an organism. For example, the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats involves enzymatic hydrolysis. Carbohydrates are broken down into monosaccharides, proteins into amino acids, and fats into fatty acids and glycerol. In industrial chemistry, hydrolysis can be used to produce various compounds, such as the production of alcohols from esters or the breakdown of salts in water. The term "hydrolysäämällä" specifically refers to the action or method of achieving a chemical change through this process of water addition and bond cleavage.
