The process is called cracking.
The best way of breaking them up uses heat and a catalyst, so we call this catalyst cracking.

Which step shows a split of one molecule into two smaller molecules?
The step containing 2 Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate
Enzymes split large molecules into two or more smaller molecules by adding water through which type of reaction?
Hydrolysis is the reaction that stems from the breakdown of large molecules by the enzymatic addition of water. Hydrolysis is step leading to the degradation of the substance. It is a chemical reaction in which a molecule of water is added to a substance. At times water and the substance will split and one part of the parent molecule will receive one hydrogen ion.
Do plants split carbon dioxide molecules?
yes
What causes water particles to split into hydrogen and oxygen?
molecules
What do digestive enzymes split starch into?
Starch is a polysaccharide made up of a chain of sugar molecules. Digestive enzymes split starch into glucose molecules by breaking up links of the chain.
Hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules can be easily split by what?
Hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules can be easily split by what electrolysis. This is the process which is used to breakdown water.
What is the process in which molecules are broken apart by the addiction of water molecules?
Hydrolysis. I remember it as hydro = water, lysis = to split.
When a chemical reaction releases energy it is called what reaction?
An exergonic reaction is a catabolic reaction where large molecules are split into smaller molecules in processes such as hydrolysis.
Which step shows a split of one molecule into two smaller molecules?
The step containing 2 Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate
What is fision?
fission- is a process in which the nuclei of radioactive atoms are split in to two or more smaller nuclei.
How do you separate H2O?
The process by which water is split into H2 and O2 atoms is called electrolysis. A DC electric current is passed through the water which splits the H2O molecules into these respective atoms.add. But all plants do this by the process of photosynthesis, whereby they split the O from the H. The H they use in constructing complex molecules, and the O they discharge as waste.

The molecules split by photolysis are what molecules?
Your question is very unclear. Photolysis of what?
How is fuel broken down into smaller more useful molecules such as gasoline petrol?
Crude oil is split into fractions using fractional distillation The crude oil is heated and separated based on boiling points. This process produces more Bitumen and other heavier fractions than lighter fractions such as diesel, naphtha and kerosene. To produce more fuel, catalytic cracking is used. In this process heavy hydrocarbons are broken down into lighter ones; For example hexane an alkane, it is converted in to butane and ethene. C6H14 -> C2H4 + C4H10
In hydrolysis is water added or removed?
Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction. Molecules of water are split into hydrogen cations and hydroxide anions in the process of a chemical mechanism.
What happened to both the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire after World War 1?
The empires split up into smaller territories.
Do plants split carbon dioxide molecules?
yes
