What reaction takes place during the breakdown of macromolecules?
Mainly it is a hydrolysis. It releases a water molecule
Which term identifies a reaction breaks apart macromolecules?
The term that identifies a reaction that breaks apart macromolecules is "hydrolysis." In hydrolysis, water molecules are used to break the bonds holding macromolecules together, resulting in the formation of smaller molecules or monomers.
Which macromolecule is not a polymer?
Lipids are macromolecules that aren't polymers, as their structure does not consist of a repeating chain of monomers. Proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids are all macromolecules and polymers.
What is the process called by which macromecules are formed?
Macromolecules are simply large molecules, such as protein, sugar and fat. They areoften formed by removing H from one atom and OH from the other; The H and the OH combine to form water. Smaller molecules (monomers) are joined to build macromolecules by the removal of water. more information can be found by clicking on the link below == == == ==
What is micromolecule?
A micromolecule is a molecule that is of low molecular weight or relatively smaller than a macromolecule. Some examples are water, minerals, and monomers.
What class of macromolecules are water repellent?
Lipids
How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions related?
dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules. hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.
What are organic macromolecules that are insoluble in water?
Fatty acids are insoluble in water.
What happens two monomers when they undergo dehydration synthesis?
Because the atoms removed from the monomers combine to form water.
When synthesizing a polymer a condensation reaction is formed by the joining of monomers?
In dehydration synthesis reactions, compounds gain water
Which macromolecules has amino acids as monomers?
Proteins (simply) (also called polypeptides) this is because amino acids will for many peptide bonds, a peptide bond is a condensation reaction (water is released) where the carboxylic acid group (-COOH) of one amino acid reacts with the amine group (-NH2) of another. the link between amino acid monomers is called an amide link (-COHN-) HOPE THIS HELPED ^_^
What are the monomers building blocks?
Monomers
