'''Hydrolysis''' is the breaking down of complex [[molecules]] by the chemical addition of [[water]].<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Biology''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1998</ref> Hydrolysis is in contrast to [[acidolysis]], or breaking down molecules by adding acid. This distinction has both positive and negative aspects. On the one hand, hydrolysis is much less dangerous than acidolysis (acidolysis accidents can cause painful and disfiguring burns). On the other hand, many substances, such as meat, take much longer to dissolve in water than in acid.
