In a synthesis reaction two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex substance. Two or more reactants yielding one product
Ex) H2 + 1/2O2 --> H2O
Decomposition: a complex substance breaks down into simple substances.
Ex) 2H2O --> 2H2 + O2

Compare and contrast photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation?
Oxidative phosphorylation is ATP synthesis driven by electron transfer to oxygen and photophosphorylation is ATP synthesis driven by light. Oxidative phosphorylation is the culmination of energy-yielding metabolism in aerobic organisms and photophosphorylation is the means by which photosynthetic organisms capture the energy of sunlight, the ultimate source of energy in the biosphere.
What actors and actresses appeared in Synthesis - 2014?
The cast of Synthesis - 2014 includes: Mandy Stobo as herself
What is the similarity between combustion and decomposition?
•They both need oxygen to happen. •They both create energy, water and carbon dioxide. •Both processes give off heat •They are both considered chemical reactions.
What causes decomposition in the desert?
Bacteria and fungi and worms are decomposers in the desert.
What is the relationship between growth and synthesis?
The difference is what it is
Are exothermic reactions decomposition reactions or are they synthesis reactions?
Synthesis reactions are generally characterized by being exothermic. Decomposition reactions are usually endothermic.
How are synthesis and decomposition reactions coupled in cells?
The synthesis and decomposition reactions are coupled in cells through the process of metabolism. There are chemical reactions that are used in this entire process.
Synthesis and decomposition reactions in an organism are called .?
All of the decomposition reactions in an organism taken together is called catabolism, while the synthesis reactions are called anabolism.
How are synthesis and decomposition reactions alike?
Synthesis and decomposition reactions are opposites. Synthesis: A + B -> C Decomposition: C -> A + B They both involve three elements or compounds, one of which is a combination of the other two. An example: N2O5 -> NO2 + NO3 Is a decomposition reaction.
What are three types of chemical reactions?
The three types of chemical reactions are: synthesis, decomposition, and replacement.
What are three categories of reactions?
Synthesis, Decomposition, Replacement
What are three categories of chemical reactions?
Synthesis, Decomposition, Replacement
Different types of chemical reaction?
I believe there are 6... (I'm a chemistry major) Combustion, synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and acid-base.
Which two reactions are also redox reactions combustion and single-replacement combustion and synthesis synthesis and decomposition single-replacement and double-replacement?
All of them can be redox reactions.
What about combustion reaction makes them different from either synthesis or decomposition reaction?
The short answer is combustion reactions are a subset of synthesis reactions that require one of the reactants to be oxygen. Common combustion of organic molecules results in the formation of CO2 . However, it is not required that combustion be limited to organic molecules. They are different from decomposition reactions in the same way synthesis is the opposite of decomposition.
What two chemical reactions are almost opposite of each other?
gyr5yty
What type of reaction produces two or more products from a single reactant?
The type of reaction that combines reactants to produce larger products is called synthesis. The opposite process of synthesis is decomposition.
