What type of chemical reaction hydrolysis or dehydration is required to break down sucrose to form these two monosaccharides?
Hydrolisis
Is a molecule a substance that a chemical reaction can't break down?
A chemical reaction can't break down an element, but it can break down a molecule.
What is it called when atoms break old links and form new ones with other atoms?
when atoms break their old links and form new links with other atoms it is called chemical reaction
What is the chemical reaction that uses heat to decompose an compound?
Heat can be used to break compounds because there is a chemical reaction that takes place and it causes the particles in the compound to break
Are nutrients responsible for the chemical changes that break food down into simpler forms for use by the body?

What is a chemical reaction that breaks down compounds into simpler products?
When chemicals are combined or broken down, they go through reactions. The combination is called a synthesis reaction and breaking down is called a decomposition reaction.
What do most chemical reaction do?
do not break bonds
