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

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.


In the body decomposition reactions are usually?

These reactions are called catabolic.

yes


What are the collective reactions with a cell or organism called?

The collective reactions within a cell or organism are called metabolism.


The disassembly of food inside an organism is called?

Decomposition


Why are Synthesis and Decomposition reactions described as opposite reactions?

Combination reactions follow the formula A + B --> AB. For example, C + O2 --> CO2. Decomposition reactions follow the formula AB --> A + B. For example, H2CO3 --> H20 + CO2.


What is chysical change?

Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. These processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions.


What type of reaction is it called when a compound breaks down?

Those are known as decomposition reactions. Usually, it ends up breaking into its components. It's the opposite of synthesis, in which separate components form a compound.


What is it called when proteins are formed when chemical reactions join?

It is called protein synthesis.


In which type of reaction does one reactant form two or more products?

A reaction where one reactant forms two or more products is known as a decomposition reaction. In a decomposition reaction, a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. This type of reaction is the opposite of a synthesis reaction, where two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Decomposition reactions are common in various chemical processes and are represented by the general equation: AB → A + B.


All chemical reactions within an organism is called what?

Biochemical reactions.


What are four types of chimical reactions?

Sublimation is the process where a solid turns directly into gas, bypassing the liquid state. Ice made of H2O (water) goes through a 3-phase, 2-step rocess involving melting (turning from solid to liquid) and evaporating (turning from liquid to gas). Dry ice (solid CO2) skips the melting step; it goes directly from solid to gas. Oxidation,in its original sense, refers to the combination of oxygen with another substance to produce a compound called an oxide. Iron, in the presence of water, combines with atmospheric oxygen to form a hydrated iron oxide, commonly called rust.
