A general process which breaks down large molecules into smaller ones?
The process that breaks up molecules into smaller units is called catabolism. Large molecules, such as nucleic acids, are broken down into smaller molecules, such as amino acids.
Does A dehydration reaction that builds larger molecules from smaller units requires the addition of a water molecule?
No it freaking is false :d
Large molecules that are formed by joining smaller organic molecules together?
A polymer. The smaller molecules are called monomers. For example, many glucose molecules (the monomers) linked together make a starch molecule (the polymer). Similarly, many amino acid molecules (the monomers) linked together form a protein molecule (the polymer). For more in formation about polymers, starting at the very beginning, see: http://pslc.ws/macrog/kidsmac/wiap.htm
The repeating unit of cellulose is?
large molecules make up of chains of repeating units are called POLYMERS.
Is polymer chains made of large molecules?
This is a valid statement, however it requires a little mind bending. Large organic molecules essentially are linked polymers to create a monomer. However, traditionally monomers are considered to be molecules that link easily in a chain and polymers are the chain, so in that way, this statement could be considered incorrect.

What are macromolescules?
Macromolecules are giant molecules that are formed when thousands of smaller units of identical molecules are joined together. This process of joining together smaller identical units into a large macromolecules (polymer) is called polymerisation.
What type of reactions build large molecules from smaller and simpler molecules?
The formation of large molecules from small repeating units is known as a condensation reaction. A condensation reaction is also known as dehydration synthesis.
What is the smaller units that compose molecules?
atoms
What are three characteristics of bio-molecules?
Bio molecules are large, complex moleucles build from smaller, simpler, repeating units. Most bio molecules contain carbon atoms that are bonded together in chains and rings.
What is macro-molecules?
A molecule containing a very large number of atoms.
What is meant by a mole of a substance?
A mole of a substance is 6.022X1023 atoms, molecules, or formula units of a substance.
What are the smaller units that DNA are made of?
Molecules. DNA is a big molecule made by smaller molecules. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA
What is the relationship beween avogadros number and the mole?
Avogadro's number represents the number of units of a substance in one mole of the substance. These units may be electrons, atoms, ions, or molecules, depending on the substance.
What are the basic units single atoms molecules or formula units that compose each substance Fe NO3 2 and N2F4?
Formula units
Is a polymerization anabolism or catabolism?
Polymerization can be anobolic or catabolic when it is taking place in biomolecules.Anabolic if, set of metabolic pathways lead to construct molecules from smaller units which require energy and catabolic if, set of pathways break down molecules into smaller units and release energy.
What is the numerical value of one mole of a substance?
1 mol = 6.02x1023 atoms or molecules or individual units
