What chemical reactions that break down molecules into smaller ones?
One example is hydrolysis, where water is used to break the bonds between molecules. Another example is oxidation, where molecules lose electrons and break into smaller fragments. Both of these reactions result in the breakdown of larger molecules into smaller ones.
What is a chemical breakdown of a substance with water called?
hydrolysis: hydro = water, lysis = cutting
Will a chemical reaction in different molecules trade positions with exchange reaction?
No, a chemical reaction involving different molecules does not involve a direct exchange of atoms or positions between the molecules. Each molecule in a reaction follows its specific reaction pathway based on the reactivity and bonding preferences of the atoms within it.
Is it possible for the number of molecules to change as a result of a chemical reaction?
That happens all the time. Smaller molecules combine to form larger molecules; larger molecules break up into smaller molecules.
In a chemical reaction are the atoms and molecules that combine with each other to make new molecules called reactants?
Yes, a reactant is a substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction. Products are those substances produced as a result of a reaction. Catalysts are substances that take part in a reaction but are left unchanged by the reaction (they speed up the reaction rate).
The process by which digestive enzymes catalyze the breakdown of larger molecules to smaller molecules with the addition of water is known as?
The reaction would be termed a chemical reaction.
The breakdown of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen molecules is an example of?
The breakdown of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen molecules is an example of a decomposition reaction. In this reaction, water is broken down into its constituent elements.
What proteins that speed up certain chemical reaction?
Amylase helps speed up breakdown of starch molecules.
What chemical reactions that break down molecules into smaller ones?
One example is hydrolysis, where water is used to break the bonds between molecules. Another example is oxidation, where molecules lose electrons and break into smaller fragments. Both of these reactions result in the breakdown of larger molecules into smaller ones.
A chemical reaction that breaks down molecules?
A chemical reaction that breaks down molecules is called a decomposition reaction. In this type of reaction, a single compound is broken down into two or more simpler substances. An example is the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas.
What is the term for molecules which serve as chemicals to make a reaction work- like the breakdown of food molecules?
enzymes
Does decomposition have chemical reactions with different molecules trade position?
A decomposition reaction does not involve molecules trading positions. When two different molecules or pairs of molecules change position with one another, the chemical reaction is known as an exchange reaction.
How are reactant elements or molecules different than the compound produced in a chemical reaction?
reactant elements and molecules are used in a chemical reaction, they are not mixed or combined or produced in a chemical reaction.
What is a chemical breakdown of a substance with water called?
hydrolysis: hydro = water, lysis = cutting
What chemical reaction breaks complex molecules down into small molecules?
Catabolism
Can New molecules be created in a chemical reaction?
No
What makes a chemical reaction different from a physical change?
In a chemical reaction, atoms are rearranged, such that some atoms get out of some molecules and join other molecules.
