- Besides hydrolysis another way is now known—phosphorylysis. Hydrolysis appears to be the chief means of splitting polysaccharides in digestion, and phosphorylysis the chief means of tissue disintegration of glycogen in animals and fungi and of starch in some plants—for example, in the germinating grains of some species of the pea.
