Are Anabolic reactions are also called synthesis reactions?
yes
What is the decomposition reaction caused by light called?
photochemical 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.
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.
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.
Are Anabolic reactions are also called synthesis reactions?
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
What is the decomposition reaction caused by light called?
photochemical reactions
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 is a chemical reaction that breaks down compounds into simpler products?
When chemicals are combined or broken down, they go through reactions. The combination is called a synthesis reaction and breaking down is called a decomposition reaction.
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.
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 the general form of a synthesis reaction?
.Ab + c cb + a
What is it called when proteins are formed when chemical reactions join?
It is called protein synthesis.
