I think it would be polysaccharides like starch, and disaccharides like surcose(broken down into a glucose molecule and a frutcose molecule.

Why is it easier to study cell differentiation in a small organism than in larger more complex organisms?
smaller organisms are less complex and therefor easier and faster to study and analyze.
The individual molecules that make up polymers are called?
The smaller molecules that make up polymers are called monomers.
What is the breaking down of compounds into simpler substances called?
The process of breaking a complex substance down into smaller components is called catabolism. Catabolism is the breaking down in living organisms or more complex substances into smaller ones.
What are large compounds made by joining together smaller compounds?
"polymers"
When compounds split apart to form a smaller compounds what happens in the reaction?
Combination
What is the scientific definition of decomposer?
An organism that breaks dead or decaying organic matter into smaller compounds.
What is the definition of recalcitrant organic compounds?
Recalcitrant compounds, either organic or synthetic that are resistant to being broken down through chemical processes. And therefore are treated using microbes to help with the process of degrading the recalcitrant compounds into smaller, more manageable compounds.
What is organic compounds made of long chains of smaller molecules joined together to make large molecules?
polymers
Which group contains molecules that are each assembled from smaller organic compounds?
3: proteins, DNA, fats, starch
All organic compounds are covalently bonded?
The backbone of organic molecules consists of covalently bonded carbon atoms. A macromolecule is composed of smaller units called monomers.
Is Toluene polar?
no. Toluene is more polar because it is a smaller molecule when comparing it to hexane.
Which group only contains molecules that are each assembled from smaller organic compounds?
3: proteins, DNA, fats, starch
Why is it easier to study cell differentiation in a small organism than in larger more complex organisms?
smaller organisms are less complex and therefor easier and faster to study and analyze.
Is a tissue bigger than a organism?
To answer this question as it is written: not necessarily. An organism (bacterium) can be smaller than tissue (the cartilage in my ears). By definition, an organism is more COMPLEX than a tissue, but not necessarily bigger.
The individual molecules that make up polymers are called?
The smaller molecules that make up polymers are called monomers.
What is the breaking down of compounds into simpler substances called?
The process of breaking a complex substance down into smaller components is called catabolism. Catabolism is the breaking down in living organisms or more complex substances into smaller ones.
What is the general term used to describe large compounds that have been produced by joining together of smaller compounds?
Polymers are large compounds that have been produced by joining together of smaller compounds.
