What are substances that can't be broken down into simpler stuff by any chemical means called?
they are called chemical elements.
What are molecules of two different substances called when cling together?
ADHESION
What is pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical called?
Atom of carbon?
What is it called when water sticks to different substances?
Adhesion is when water molecules stick to other molecules
What are two or more simpler molecules strung together called?
I suppose that you think to a molecular association (by molecular binding).
Breakdown of complex substances in living things?
The breakdown (usually in living systems) from complex substances to simpler substances is called catalysis. In terms of thermodynamics, the breakdown from more ordered (often more complex) states to more disordered (often simpler) states is called entropy.
What is called digestion?
The breakdown of complex components of food into simpler substances is called digestion.
What is the process in which food is broken down into simpler substances called?
Digestion is the process of breaking down food into simpler substances. Digestion is of two types: mechanical or physical digestion, and chemical digestion.
Why is cellular respiration anabolism?
Anabolism means to build up molecules from smaller, simpler substances in the body. Hence some bodybuilders take anabolic steroids to increase muscle mass. Cellular respiration is the breakdown of fuel molecules eg glucose, to release energy. Breakdown reactions are called catabolism (catabolic reactions). So respiration in cells is catabolic, not anabolic.
Substances that can be broken down into simpler substances are called?
compounds
The substances that can not be broken down into simpler substances are called?
elements
What is break down of food molecules called?
Breakdown of food molecules, that is, conversion of complex organic substances into simple organic ones is called digestion.
What is the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones be absorbed by the cells called?
Digestion is the breakdown of large food molecules into smaller molecules. The digested molecules are then absorbed into the bloodstream to be transported to the different parts of the body.
When two or more substances combine to form one new or more simpler substances it is called?
A chemical reaction, though often it is not a simpler substance.
What do you call the molecules which make reactions work such as the breakdown of food molecules?
Those types of molecules are called enzymes.
Pure substances that have properties entirely different from the atoms that make it up are?
These are called molecules.
The synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones with the input of energy is called?
anabolism
