Which of the Following is an Incorrect Pairing

Question

Which of the following is an incorrect pairing?
A) electrolytes; anions
B) synthesis; endothermic
C) hydrolysis; hydrogen bonds
D) catabolism; exothermic
E) dehydration; anabolism

Accepted Answer

Hydrolysis is the splitting of a compound by adding water, and it typically involves breaking bonds between atoms or groups of atoms through the addition of a water molecule. Hydrogen bonds, on the other hand, are weak interactions between molecules or within different parts of the same molecule, and they do not involve breaking bonds. Therefore, hydrolysis and hydrogen bonds are not directly related.
