What is hydrolysis?

A) The ability of a host plant or animal to resist attack by pests.
B) Filters installed in the operating room ventilation system that remove particles.
C) Breakdown of a chemical in the presence of water.
D) Overheating of the body due to pesticide exposure.

The correct answer is: C) Breakdown of a chemical in the presence of water.

Hydrolysis is the breakdown of a chemical compound through a chemical reaction with water, leading to the separation of the compound into smaller molecules. This process is fundamental in the degradation of pesticides in the environment. Option A is incorrect because it describes host resistance to pests, which is not related to hydrolysis. Option B is incorrect as it refers to filters in ventilation systems, which is not related to chemical breakdown. Option D is incorrect as it describes a heat-related reaction to pesticide exposure, which is different from the chemical breakdown of hydrolysis.
