What are changes that alter the form of matter without changing its basic chemical composition are called?
These are physical changes.
What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
What is The true-bacteria that can be classified according to the chemical composition of their cell walls?
The eubacteria and that chemical composition is called peptidoglycan.
What chemical speeds up the chemical breakdown of food?
A substance that speeds the changing of food into a usable form* is called an enzyme. More generally, in any chemical context, a substance that speeds a reaction without itself being changed is called a catalyst._______________________________________*This changing of food into a usable form is called "digestion".
What is the difference between a chemical reaction and a chemical composition?
when 2 or more compounds react chemically to form a new compound then it is called chemical reaction chemical reaction whereas the quantity and no. chemical elements presents in chemical compound is called the chemical composition
When rocks break down without changing the rock material it is called?
The process of breaking down the rock material without changing its chemical composition is called mechanical weathering.
What are changes that alter the form of matter without changing its basic chemical composition are called?
These are physical changes.
What is it called when rocks break down without changing in chemical composition chemical weathering oxidation leaching or mechanical weathering?
The only one from the list above that does not involve some form of chemical change is mechanical weathering.
The process that occurs when physical forces break rock into smaller pieces without changing the rock's chemical composition is called?
weathering, erosion by nature.
What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
When there is a change in the chemical composition of a substance its called a?

What is the substance that changes the rate of chemical reactions without being changed called?
In biological systems an enzyme speeds up the reaction without changing it. In other chemical reactions this function is achieved by a catalyst.
