Process by which disaccharides and polysaccharides can be broken apart?
Hydrolysis
Disaccharides are broken down into their component monosaccharides by.?
The decomposition of any nutrient is called hydrolysis, in which a molecule of water is broken and "caps" the ends of the two monomers. The opposite of hydrolysis is called a condensation (or dehydration) reaction.
What is the process in which large atoms are broken apart?
Fission
Earth's stratosphere is heated by which process?
Ozone is broken apart by ultraviolet radiation.
What is added to brake the polysaccharides apart?
amino acids i think
What are the purposes of a disaccharide?
Disaccharides provide a way of storing energy for future use. Apart from being broken down to release the stored energy, they are also used to form more complex forms of starch.
What type of chemical reaction occurs when polymers are broken apart by water?
Hydrolysis. Polymers are broken down into monomers in a process known as hydrolysis
What is the hydrolysis of disaccharides?
it takes place by the breaking apart of water. A water is broken apart to for a H- and an OH- which then, with the help of enzymes, pulls the 2 monosaccharides apart and gives each a part of the water to make them stable.
What is the process in which molecules are broken apart by the addiction of water molecules?
Hydrolysis. I remember it as hydro = water, lysis = to split.
Chemical reactions that take apart molecules?
The chemical process by which molecules are broken down into their smaller components is called catabolism.
What is the chemical reactions that allow large molecules to be broken apart into smaller molecules by adding water called?
This process is called hydrolysis.
What can molecule be broken into?
A molecule can be broken apart into its constituent Atoms.
