dehydration synthesis
A general process which breaks down large molecules into smaller ones?
The process that breaks up molecules into smaller units is called catabolism. Large molecules, such as nucleic acids, are broken down into smaller molecules, such as amino acids.
What breaks down food into molecules that the cell can use?
It is broken down into small molecules by a complicated process called digestion. Digestive enzymes like saliva, gastric juice, intestinal juice, bile, pancreatic juice all play a part in digesting and breaking down the food to small molecules so that it can get absorbed by the small intestine

The process in which your body breaks down food into small nutrient molecules is called?
Mechanical digestion. The actual grinding and physical breaking down of food. Chemical digestion breaks down food using chemicals/enyzyms and chemical reactions.
What is the process in which a substance breaks up into smaller particles as it dissolves?
You question makes no sense. If particles dissolve they go into solution, they do not "break apart and scatter".
What do we call a chemical that breaks down large molecules of food into smaller molecules of food?
They are called enzymes.
What enzyme breaks down corn?
Digestive enzymes are enzymes that break down food into usable energy. The digestive enzyme that breaks down corn is called xylanese. Humans lack this enzyme.
Where is protein broken down is the digestive system?

What breaks down fat?
Fats are made up of lipid molecules. Lipase is the enzyme that breaks up the lipid molecules.
What are chemicals found in the digestive process called?
They are called digestive enzymes. There are many that are used in the process, beginning in the mouth with enzymes that begin the break down of starches.
