What happends when bonds break and new bonds form?
A new molecule is formed after a chemical reaction.
When cells breakdown a sugar molecule to produce chemical energy?
A chemical reaction that happens in every cell to break down sugar
What type of chemical reaction would cause sucrose to break up into simpler units?
Hydrolysis or a hydrolytic is a reaction in which a water molecule i.e Sucrose, is needed to break up a complex molecule i.e glucose, into smaller molecule.
What is the decomposition reaction occurs in the presence of heat,?
Thermal decomposition is a chemical reaction where a single substance breaks into two or more simple substances when heated. The reaction is usually endothermic because heat is required to break the bonds present in the substance.
What is a mixture in which a substance does not dissolve but does not break into smaller pieces?
a molecule
What happens to chemical bonds in a molecule during a chemical reaction?
The existing chemical bonds break and new bonds are created to give products.
What happends when bonds break and new bonds form?
A new molecule is formed after a chemical reaction.
When cells breakdown a sugar molecule to produce chemical energy?
A chemical reaction that happens in every cell to break down sugar
Relate the shape of an enzyme to its ability to help in a chemical reaction?
The shape of an enzyme will determine its ability to help in a chemical reaction. These proteins that will break down substance in the body and catalyze chemical reactions.
What structures break in reactants?
These structures are bonds. 100% positive.

What changes do chemical reactions involve in chemical bonds that join atoms in compounds?
The bonds in a molecule can break and atoms can bond with other atoms.
Is decomposition reaction a chemical reaction?
It depends on the nature of the decomposition. if you are talking about biodegradeability in a substance, then no, its decomposition is mainly due to bacteria that will break down the various particles in the substance ("eat" them). There are, however certain chemical reactions which take place within the bacteria as the substance is being broken down, (much like those that happen in the human body) and the possibility of there being other products in the vicinity which may react to the substance (and degrade it) is always present. It could be said that decomposition is therefore a chemical reaction (or rather a series thereof), but with biodegradeability in mind it is not generally thought of as such.
What is a mixture in which a substance does not dissolve but does not break into smaller pieces?
a molecule
What happens to the bonds of substance during a chemical reaction?
First chemicals bonds in the starting substances must break. Molecules are always moving. If the molecules bump into each other with enough energy,the chemical bonds in the molecules break. ;)
What do most chemical reaction do?
do not break bonds
