What does it mean when a chemical substance dissociates or ionizes?

When a chemical substance dissociates or ionizes, it breaks apart into smaller particles such as ions or atoms in a solution. This process usually occurs in the presence of a solvent, and results in the formation of charged particles that can conduct electricity or participate in chemical reactions.

What is the process in which a substance breaks up into smaller particles as it dissolves?

You question makes no sense. If particles dissolve they go into solution, they do not "break apart and scatter".


What is the process that dissolves crystals and glues particles together?

The process that dissolves crystals and glues particles together is called dissolution. In dissolution, a solvent breaks down the crystal lattice structure of a substance, allowing its particles to separate and disperse. When the solvent evaporates, the particles come back together, forming a solid mass.


Which of the following statements describes the process of anaerobic glycolysis A The body breaks down oxygen and glycogen to produce energy B The body partially breaks down glucose to?

The body manufactures ATP by breaking down glycogen or glucose. The ATP is then partially broken down to provide energy, leaving behind lactic acid. After about three minutes of activity, enough lactic acid accumulates around the muscles to cause muscle fatigue. No oxygen is involved in this anaerobic process.


What stores and breaks down food?

There is NO organelle that breaks down food, AND stores it. Vacuole = Stores water and food particles. Lysomes= Breaks down food particles.


What is the characteristic of the lipase enzymes?

Lipases perform a process called emulsification which breaks fat globules into smaller particles. This gives more surface area for the enzymes to then break the oils into fatty acids.


How do honeybees make honey?

Honey bees make money by consuming the nectar of flowers, partially digesting it, and then regurgitating it. The process breaks down the nectar and removes much of the moisture to prevent fermentation.


Which process changes metamorphic into sedimentary rock?

Erosion breaks down a metamorphic rock then the particles get deposited and get cemented or compacted together forming a sedimentary rock.


Is bile a physical or chemical reaction?

The process of bile is a physical one because it does not contain any enzymes that breaks down any fats. Lipase is the enzyme that breaks down fats but bile is only an emulsifier, which is a physical process, that combines bile with the fats.
