The breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones to be absorbed by cells is called digestion. This process involves the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into their smaller components (such as glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids) that can be readily absorbed and used by the body.
The process of breaking down large molecules into smaller molecules is called catabolism. This process releases energy that cells can use for various functions.
The process you are referring to is called catabolism. Catabolism involves breaking down large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process. This process is essential for producing energy and building blocks for anabolic reactions in cells.
Hydrolysis is the chemical reaction that breaks down large molecules into smaller molecules by adding water. Hydrolysis involves the cleavage of chemical bonds through the addition of water molecules.
Hydrolysis
A very large organic compound made up of chains of smaller molecules is a polymer. Polymers are macromolecules formed by repeating units of smaller molecules called monomers. Examples of polymers include proteins, DNA, and synthetic plastics.
The answer is polymer. Could also be referring to Macromolecule
No, large molecules containing carbon atoms are not called micromolecules. They are typically referred to as macromolecules. Micromolecules generally refer to smaller molecules like water, salts, and simple sugars.
