All of the decomposition reactions in an organism taken together is called catabolism, while the synthesis reactions are called anabolism.
yes
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.
It is called protein synthesis.
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.
The decomposition reaction caused by light is called photolysis. This process involves the breaking down of a compound into simpler substances by absorbing light energy.
The type of reaction that combines reactants to produce larger products is called synthesis. The opposite process of synthesis is decomposition.
These reactions are called catabolic.
yes
The collective reactions within a cell or organism are called metabolism.
Decomposition
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.
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.
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.
It is called protein synthesis.
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.
