    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.
