Can a molecule have billions of atoms?
Technically yes. It would have to be an extremely complex molecule with many chains of atoms. Usually a molecule remains small so that it can broken down and put back together easily. So a polymer of millions of molecules (which themselves contain many atoms) would qualify.
Is carbon dioxide a macro molecule?
No, as molecule go carbon dioxide is a small, simple molecule.
What is a small molecule that specifically binds to another molecule?
is called a ligand.
Why does lithium form stable complex compound than other alkali metals?
As complex comopunds or salts are those which can dissociate to give complex anion and simple cation and vice versa. As Li is small in size and if Li combine with comples anion then it will form a complex compounds.While the other alkali metals are large in size. So if these metals combine with large anion or complex anion then they does not form a complex compounds. It is the reason that Cation which is in the form of alkali is large or complex and anion also comple. So, in this case both ions that produced are large.That's why other then Li, alkali metals not form comples compounds. One of the best example of Li complex compound is " Lithium tetra-amine " Li(NH3)4
When scientist copy DNA what do they have to cut out first?
Restriction endonuclease
What type of reaction occurs between building block subunits to create proteins and lipids and complex carbohydrates and nucleic acids?
In each case, two compounds combine with the elimination of a molecule of water. A reaction in which a small molecule is lost is called a condensation reaction. More specifically, since it is water that is lost, these are dehydrationreactions.Amino acids combine in the synthesis of the polypeptide chains that make up proteins.Glycerol (a trihydric alcohol) and three fatty acids combine to form a lipid.Monosaccharides combine to form polysaccharides (complex carbohydrates).Nucleotides combine to form a strand of a nucleic acid.
How does a condensation reaction get its names?
A condensation reaction is one in which two or more molecules combine into a larger molecule often with the loss of a small molecule, such as water.
In the small intestines fatty acids cholesterol and glycerides combine in epithelial cells to form complex structures are called?
chylomicrons
What is the difference between condensation and hydrolysis reactions?
Condensation and hydrolysis are almost like opposite reactions. In condensation, two molecules react to form one larger molecule while giving off a smaller molecule such as water (hence the term condensation). The reverse occurs in hydrolysis where a molecule such as water attacks a larger molecule that is susceptible to hydrolysis and breaks it down into two smaller molecules.
Why evolution of man considered as a complex process?
The evolution of man is considered a complex process because it takes thousands of years for even a small change to occur. It is a result of genetics and physiological changes which take many generations to take hold.
What happens when the same kind of atoms combine?
That is the process know as fusion. When the two atoms combine, a very small amount of matter is destroyed in the process. This results in a huge amount of energy release. Fusion is the thermonuclear reaction that powers the stars.
What is the process by which chemical reactions occur that break down food molecules into energy to be used by the organism?
Breaking down of macromolecules into small particles is called a catabolic process. In any catabolic process there is a release of energy. Anabolic reaction combines small particles into a macro molecule and energy is conserved in such a process.
Can a molecule have billions of atoms?
Technically yes. It would have to be an extremely complex molecule with many chains of atoms. Usually a molecule remains small so that it can broken down and put back together easily. So a polymer of millions of molecules (which themselves contain many atoms) would qualify.
A small polar molecule enters a cell with help from a membrane protein. No additional energy was needed to complete this process. What type of transport is this?
Facilitated
Why can starch molecules not pass through dialysis tubing?
It is a complicated molecule. the starch molecule is to large to be transported through the cell membrane. it therefore has to be broken down if it is to go though the protein channels.
Is carbon dioxide a macro molecule?
No, as molecule go carbon dioxide is a small, simple molecule.
What is a small molecule that specifically binds to another molecule?
is called a ligand.
