Synthesis and decomposition reactions in an organism are called .?

All of the decomposition reactions in an organism taken together is called catabolism, while the synthesis reactions are called anabolism.


Are anabolic reactions called synthesis reactions?

Catabolism is breaking molecules down into smaller molecules (to get energy). You can remember this if you've ever had a cat -- they break things. Anabolism is the opposite: building things up (to make useful stuff). Now look up the definition of synthesis.


What is the building up and breaking down of chemicals in the cell?

Metabolism. The building up (synthesis) of molecules is anabolism, and breakdown of chemicals is catabolism. Metabolism is the term for all cell chemistry, including anabolism and catabolism, as well as other reactions, such as interconversions.


Is dehydration synthesis reaction catabolism or anabolism?

Anabolic


What type of reaction produces two or more products from a single reactant?

The type of reaction that combines reactants to produce larger products is called synthesis. The opposite process of synthesis is decomposition.

Reactions that break apart large molecules are involved in?

Reactions that break apart large molecules are involved in catabolism. It is a type of metabolism that releases energy in the process.


Are exothermic reactions decomposition reactions or are they synthesis reactions?

Synthesis reactions are generally characterized by being exothermic. Decomposition reactions are usually endothermic.


What are the chemical reactions in your body called?

Metabolism and/or catabolism.


What is an example of anabolic metabolism?

Anytime two or more reactants are combined it is anabolism, the opposite being catabolism. Examples of Anabolism # Protein synthesis # DNA replication # Muscles growth # Any of the dehydration synthesis reactionsExamples of Catabolism# Hydrolysis # Digestion


Is the process of building larger molecules by combining smaller molecules.?

It is called anabolism. The opposite process is termed catabolism.


What type of reaction is Metabolism?

The two types of metabolic reactions are anabolism and catabolism.
