What are huge molecules made up of many smaller organic molecules called?
This compound is called a polymer.
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.
A general process which breaks down large molecules into smaller ones?
The process that breaks up molecules into smaller units is called catabolism. Large molecules, such as nucleic acids, are broken down into smaller molecules, such as amino acids.
What smaller molecules that make up proteins are called?
"amino acids"
Where are food molecules absorbed into the bloodstream?
The food molecules are absorbed in the small intestine. Through these finger shaped things along the wall of the small intestine, called the villi.
What is the breakdown of large food molecules into smaller molecules colled?
Physical digestion is the term for breaking down large food molecules into small molecules. Mechanical digestion and physical digestion mean the same thing.
What smaller molecules make protein molecules?
Smaller molecules called amino acids make protein molecules.
Small organelles that are used to digest and breakdown many macromolecules into smaller molecules for use in the cell is called?
Even enzymes are responsible for breaking down the macromolecules for eg. Amylases, proteases
What do you call the molecules which make reactions work such as the breakdown of food molecules?
Those types of molecules are called enzymes.
The breakdown of rock into smaller pieces by physical means?
The process of the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces by physical means is called mechanical weathering.
What is the tube called that absorbed food molecules go to?
Capillaries
What Molecules that are made of smaller molecules called amino acids are called?
monomer
What are large molecules up of smaller molecules called?
Macromolecules.
The series of chemical reactions in which a molecule of glucose is broken down is called?
The part of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down is called the glycolysis. The chemical energy to produce ATP come from the breakdown of carbon based molecules into the smaller molecules.
