What is the difference between dehydration synthesis reaction and a hydrolysis reaction?
Condensation is a chemical process by which 2 molecules are joined together to make a larger, more complex, molecule, with the loss of water.It is the basis for the synthesis of all the important biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids) from their simpler sub-units.It is important not to get condensation and hydrolysis muddled up, as they are in fact opposite processes! Condensation is so called because the product is drawn together from two other substances, in effect getting smaller by losing water. It does not give off water to condense and run down the window!In all cases of condensation, molecules with projecting -H atoms are linked to other molecules with projecting -OH groups, producing H2O, ( H.OH ) also known as water, which then moves away from the original molecules.A-H + B-OH --> A-B + H2O
What is a compound composed of adenosine and three phosphate groups that supplies energy for many biochemical cellular processes by undergoing enzymatic hydrolysis?
ATP
Do Proteins provide most of the energy for life processes?
Proteins and carbohydrates share the role of providing energy for life's processes. Proteins are broken down into constituent amino acids by enzymes.
What is the biological function of carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates usually undergo various chemical processes in the body to give out energy for the body. This energy that can be measured in calories is consumed when the body performs activities such as running or lifting.
True false animals that live exclusively by eating other animals are unable to use carbohydrates to fuel their life processes?
False.
What two processes are necessary to build or separate macromolecules?
This process is called polymerization.
What are the processes in the water cycle called?
hydrolysis of water
Which of the following digestive processes requires enzymes?
Hydrolysis
Do enymes brake down lipids carbohydrates and prptiens?
Yes specific enzymes are breaking down carbohydrates, proteins and lipids to form sugars, amino acids and fatty acids respectively by hydrolysis. All enzymes are specific for a particular substrate. Not a single enzyme can do all these processes!
Is hydrolysis the same as digestion?
Hydrolysis is one chemical process that accomplishes chemical digestion. There are other chemical and mechanical digestive processes.
What supplies energy for all cell processes?
carbohydrates
Why do plants need carbohydrates?
Yes because carbohydrates are forms of energy and plants need energy to conduct photosynthesis and other life processes.
Why are carbohydrates important to cell processes?
The main reason that carbohydrates are important to cell processes is that glucose, a carbohydrate, provides most of the energy a cell requires. Glucose is the main reactant for cellular respiration.
Complex carbohydrates not broken down by digestive processes are?
dietary fiber
How does a hydrolysis chemical reaction occur?
The initial stage of hydrolysis occurs in the mouth which is the early stage of digestion. In this process carbohydrates are broken down by hydrolysis along with the help of salivary amylase enzyme.
What happens to carbohydrates during cellular respiration?
Cells take the carbohydrates into their cytoplasm, and through a complex series of metabolic processes, they break down the carbohydrates and release the energy.
Why are sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide needed in crude fiber determination?
The acid and the base are used to remove all the other "stuff" from the sample, and leave only the fiber. There are challenges in that when we remove the sugar and starch (acid hydrolysis), and the protein and carbohydrates (the base hydrolysis), we should have just fiber left. But some of the fiber is lost to the two-stage chemical hydrolysis we just ran the sample through. We are then left with the challenge of making an estimate (the "determination") of the crude fiber based on what we know about the sample, about the procedure and about the quantity of the fiber we observe at the end of the chemical processes.
