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 breaks down large molecules?
Larger molecules become smaller molecules by chemical reactions referred to as decomposition reactions. These can be as simple as oxidation, or as complex as catalyzed reduction of hydrocarbons (oil). The chemical reactions can be triggered by other reactive chemicals, by catalysts, or by the addition of energy (heat, electric current). They can be spontaneous or be deliberate, and they can sometimes be self-sustaining, as in a cascade reaction.
Why are Nucleic acids proteins and other large biological molecules are known as polymers?
Because they have large collection of monomers and the monomers linked each other by bond.
What is the difference between a large molecule and a covalent network substance?
What's in a name? The division between the two is arbitrary at the extremes of large molecules although even extremely large molecules may have a definite known molecular formula (for instance proteins), whereas a covalent network may only be known as multiple repeats of a simple unit, such as (SiO2)n )
What is the chemical formula of endocytosis?
Endocytosis is a process by which cells absorb molecules (such as proteins) or large particles (such as bacteria) by engulfing them. It cannot be represented by a chemical formula.
What are the molecules in living cells that are so large that they are known as?
purines??
what molecules in living cells are so large that they are know as?
These are called macromolecules.
Many of the molecules in living cells are so large that they are know as?
Macromolecules
Large molecules in living cells are called what?
They are called macromolecules, from the Greek word meaning "large" or "great".
What is cells to engulf large molecules?
Phagocytosis
What are very large organic molecules that contain instructions that cells need to function called?
Deoxyribonucleic acid, otherwise known as DNA.
What Very large organic molecules that contain instructions that cells need to functions are called what?
Deoxyribonucleic acid, otherwise known as DNA.
What materials are expelled from cells during exocytosis?
Food molecules and waste material
What method do most cells use in order to dispose of large molecules of waste material?
Exocytosis is the method that most cells use in order to dispose of large molecules of waste materials.
What is the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones be absorbed by the cells called?
Digestion is the breakdown of large food molecules into smaller molecules. The digested molecules are then absorbed into the bloodstream to be transported to the different parts of the body.
Why cant big molecules pass through wall guts?
The cell walls of the intestinal cells do not allow the passage of large molecules through them; in addition, the tight junctions between the cells blocks the transfer of large molecules through the interstitial space.
What are 4 large molecules that living things make or use?
