Plasmas are made of matter whose particles have broken apart?

Sort of. Plasma is a state of matter unlike solid, liquid or gas. Plasma consists of partially ionized gas, only occurring at extremely high temperatures. Therefore, if gas molecules have their electrons partially 'broken apart' from their nuclei, they could be said to be 'broken apart (partially ionized) particles (molecules)'


What is a metabollism?

Metabolize is a verb. It means that molecules are being built up "anabolism" or being torn apart atom by atom "catabolism".

Hydrolysis. Polymers are broken down into monomers in a process known as hydrolysis


What is the process by which disaccharides and polysaccharides can be broken apart?

Disaccharides are broken down by hydrolysis, which is the addition of water molecule, to turn into two monosaccharides
