What bonds do helicase and polymerase enzymes break?
I would say Hydrogen Bond.
Do all chemical bonds hold potential energy?
No. some bonds actually require sustained energy to break apart (such as water). This is displayed in the use of a Hoffman apparatus, which requires an electrical current to split water into Hydrogen and Oxygen.
What types of bonds will break when frozen water is heated and becomes liquid?
Of course. The reason for water's solid structure when frozen is due only to hydrogen bonds, which form a type of crystal lattice structure. When heat is applied, these bonds break, and water becomes liquid once again. then you crap yourself.
When water ionizes what substances does it break down into?
Hydrogen and Oxygen.
What bond exists between complimentary bases?
hydrogen bonds, which are very easy to break.
How are hydrogen bonds different from covalent bonds?
Hydrogen Bonds can be broken easy, Covalent Bonds are hard to break apart, but both are needed to hold different parts of DNA strands together
When water evaporates do the covalent bonds between O atoms and H atoms break or do the hydrogen bonds break and why?
The hydrogen bonds break.
Waters ability to dissolve ionic substances?
Water can dissolve ionic substances because in both substances the bond are very polar. When a solute is added to water, some of water's hydrogen bonds break as the water forms intermolecular bonds with the solute. Because ionic substances are polar, the new intermolecular bonds formed when they dissolve in water are quite strong, and can compensate for the energy lost when breaking the water's hydrogen bonds.
Can you break an element apart into a different substances?
No
How do hydrogen bonds between nitrogen bonds break?
The question makes no sense. There's no such thing as a "nitrogen bond". If you mean "nitrogen atoms", then there are no hydrogen bonds between nitrogen atoms. If you mean "hydrogen bonds between a hydrogen and a nitrogen", then they break like any other hydrogen bond; they aren't really "bonds", just relatively strong electrostatic forces.
Why does H2O have high such values for its specific heat and boling point?
H2O has high values for its specific heat and boiling point because it is made up of hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are the strongest type of intermolecular forces. Hydrogen bonds occur whenever hydrogen bonds with fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. Since they are the strongest type of bonds, it takes much more energy to break apart the molecules, which is what needs to happen for something to boil.
Do hydrogen bonds break and reform in liquid?
They die
What bonds do helicase and polymerase enzymes break?
I would say Hydrogen Bond.
Waters high specific heat is mainly a consequence of the?
absorbtion and release of heat when hydrogen bonds break and form
Do hydrogen bonds in pure water break and reform?
The hydrogen bonds in pure water reform and break as they are intermolecular forces. If they didn't break and reform then pure water would be solid and life couldn't exist.
How is a DNA molecule held together and separated by?
A DNA molecule is held together by its hydrogen bonds. The bonds are in between the bases of the molecule, for example cytosine and guanine. Because hydrogen bonds are weak, they are able to break apart easily and split when the molecule needs to be separated to bond with another DNA molecule for reproduction.
How are new substances formed during chemical reactions?
Chemical bonds in the starting substances must break. molecules are always moving. if the molecules bump into each other with a enough energy, the chemical bonds in the molecules can break. the atoms then rearrange, and new bonds form to make new substances.
