Your digestive system uses a variety of enzymes to break down large food molecules into smaller ones that your cells can assimilate. A generic name for a digestive enzyme is hydrolase. What is the chemical basis for that name

The enzyme that catalyzes the following reaction is a hydrolase:

                         A–B + H2O → A–OH + B–H

A–B is a chemical bond of unspecified molecules.

Explanation:

Hydrolase is a compound that regularly proceeds as biochemical impetuses that utilize water to break a chemical bond, that is breaking a larger molecule into smaller once. Some basic instances of hydrolase proteins are esterases including peptidases and nucleosidases. Nucleosidases hydrolyze the bonds of nucleotides.Hydrolase proteins are significant for the body since they have degradative properties. Names of hydrolases are shaped as "substrate hydrolase." However, regular names are ordinarily in the "substrates". For instance, a Lipase is a hydrolase that breaks down fats and lipoproteins.
