What general type of reaction is used to break macromolecules down?
Hydrolysis
Which substrate is digested by the enzyme protease?
Proteases break down proteins by hydrolysis (addition of a water molecule to break a bond) into amino acids. The substrate the protease enzyme works on is protein. Enzymes are often named for the substrates they catalyse (or break down).
Is a bond being created or broken in hydrolysis reaction?
bonds that hold monomer together. Like peptide bonds in protein and glucosidic bonds in complex sugars.
Sucrase is an enzyme that breaks sucrose down into glucose and fructose what happens to the chemical bonds in sucrose when it binds to the enzyme sucrase?
Hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond results. Sucrose is reduced to glucose and fructose.
What is the process when cells break down molecules?
For example thermal decomposition.
What is a peptide bond broken by?
Hydrolysis, which is the addition of water
What substances added during hydrolysis in order to break down food macromolecules?
water
The break down of a polymer involves?
Hydrolysis.
What substances is added during hydrolysis in order to break down food macromolecules?
Water molecules are added
How do you break down a polysaccharide?
Hydrolysis breaks polysaccharides into monosaccharides, during what is called saccharification. This process is the cleavage of chemical bonds by the addition of water.
When breaking down a monoglyceride what reaction is that?
A monoglyceride is made up of glycerol and one long chain fatty acid, connected to the glycerol by an ester bond. If you break this down to the free fatty acid and glycerol, the process or reaction is known as hydrolysis, or ester hydrolysis.
Chemical reaction by which starch is split into mono-saccharides?
Hydrolysis. This process uses water to break down molecules such as starch.
What is the process that uses water to break down a polymer called?
the process that is used to break down water is by passing a electrical current through it ,it is called electrolysis.
How is condensation and hydrolysis related to ATP and ADP?
ATP can break down by hydrolysis (when phosphates are added) Hydrolysis reactions are exergonic, and the reverse of condensation is hydrolysis. (when phosphates are taken away)
How are polymers broken-down to monomers?
It certainly depends on what type of polymer you are speaking. For peptide polymers the reaction for monomerization is hydrolysis. This is the addition of water in combination with the cleavage of the peptide bond.
What do monomers do after they break down through hydrolysis?
They become glucose monomers.
What general type of reaction is used to break macromolecules down?
Hydrolysis
