Answer:

False

Explanation:

Breaking the dipeptide bond will result in the taking up of a water molecule hence the reaction is a hydration process. When the peptide bonds break, the --CO⁻ (of the carboxy; group of the one amino acid in the bond) takes up an – OH⁻ from the water to become --COOH while the amino gorup (-NH₂⁻) of the next amino acid in the bond takes up the –H⁺ to become –NH₃.
