The general term for very large molecules is "macromolecules". There are special terms for different specific types of macromolecules, like "polymers" or "proteins", and most people studying them specialize in one or another specific type.

What is the name of the process of splitting a large molecule into smaller molecules by adding water?
Hydrolisis
What is the name of the process of making large molecules from smaller ones?
The Golgi Apparatus forms large molecules from smaller ones. It gathers simple molecules and combines them to form larger more complex molecules. From there is takes those larger molecules and packages them for transport.
What is the difference between a large molecule and a covalent network substance?
What's in a name? The division between the two is arbitrary at the extremes of large molecules although even extremely large molecules may have a definite known molecular formula (for instance proteins), whereas a covalent network may only be known as multiple repeats of a simple unit, such as (SiO2)n )
Are oxygen and carbon dioxide water molecules?
No. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are not the molecules that make up the element water. The name for water on the periodic table of elements is H2O.(the 2 is slightly lower in the real abbreviation.) H2O stands for 1 oxygen molecule with 2 smaller hydrogen molecules attached to it. It looks similar to the shape of Mickey Mouse's head with his two ears at the top.
The name that tells the number of molecules?
it is Avagadro's no

Uss constitution sailor?
The Uss constitution sailor is the name of a large ship. There are smaller ones made that can fit in a bottle and is been sold.
The point of the digestive system is to?
The point is to digest food (the clue is the name) and to break down large macromolecules into smaller molecules which can be absorbed through the gut wall into the blood stream, where it is carried to tissues where it is needed.
What is the name of the process where ATP is made from food molecules?
Respiration.
What are Giant organic molecules made of small molecules linked together?
it is a polymer or another name is macromolecule
Breaking of a larger hydrocarbon molecule into a smaller one by heating in the presence of a catalyst is called?
Cracking , Cracking is the name given to breaking up large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller and more useful bits. This is achieved by using high pressures and temperatures without a catalyst, or lower temperatures and pressures in the presence of a catalyst.

A Penny Farthing
What is the name for a molecules that is made of two sugar monomer bonded together?
disaccharide
What the name of process where sucrose converts to amylase?
Sucrose does not convert to amylase. Amylase is an enzyme which helps break down starches into sugar.The general process of breaking down large molecules into smaller ones in order for the body to use nutrition is called digestion.
