1 Hydrolysis reactions use water to breakdown polymers into monomers and is the opposite of dehydration synthesis, which forms water when synthesizing a polymer from monomers.  Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.
Step-wise reactions of glycolysis. â¢ Reaction 1: Phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6 phosphate. â¢ This reaction requires energy and so it is coupled to the. hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi. â¢ Enzyme: hexokinase. It has a low Km for glucose; thus, once. glucose enters the cell, it gets phosphorylated.
