What else can I help you with?
A general process which breaks down large molecules into smaller ones?
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.
Which process breaks down large food molecules into smaller molecules using enzymes?
Chemical digestion
What do we call a chemical that breaks down large molecules of food into smaller molecules of food?
We call the chemical that breaks down large molecules of food into smaller molecules "enzymes." Enzymes play a crucial role in the digestion process by catalyzing the breakdown of macromolecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into smaller units that can be absorbed by the body for energy and nutrients.
What is a degradation?
A degradation reaction breaks down a large molecule into smaller molecules. For example, the enzyme catalase breaks down Hydrogen Peroxide into Oxygen and Water.
What process break down large molecules into smaller molecules?
Hydrolysis
What organelle breaks down food into molecules the cell can use?
The organelle that breaks down food into molecules the cell can use is the lysosome. It contains enzymes that break down large molecules into smaller components that can be used by the cell for energy or building materials.
What process breaks down the complex molecules of food into smaller molecules?
Digestion.
What is the chemical reactions that allow large molecules to be broken apart into smaller molecules by adding water called?
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.
What part of a cell breaks down large molecules?
lysosome
Breaking large molecules down into smaller molecules?
Enzymes
The system breaks down the foods you eat into smaller molecules?
Digestive System.
Metabolic process that breaks down larger molecules into smaller ones?
Catabolism
