Which is a source of chemical energy commonly used by humans?
Many energy sources commonly used by humans are forms of chemical energy. They are usually labeled "fuels." The way to use the chemical energy in most fuels is by burning them, as we do with wood, natural gas, gasoline, coal, and others.
Why are hydrogen and oxygen considered elements and water a compound?
Elements are the simplest building blocks you can break matter down into using purely chemical methods. They are a pure substance made up from only one type of atom. When you mix elements together these form compounds. The important difference is that as they are a mixture of more than one type of element, they CAN be broken down into more simple substances using chemical means! As such Hydrogen or Oxygen cannot be simplified chemically (they are therefore elements), however dihydrogen monoxide (H2O or water!) is a mixture of these elements that can be broken down using chemical means and so is a compound...
Which substance can be broken down by a chemical change The answer is Hexane--but why?
Hexane is a compound. All chemical compounds can be broken down by chemical change (chemical reactions of many types) - not only hexane. All the other choices are elements which cannot be broken down by chemical changes.
Which substance cannot be broken down by a chemical change?
All of the elements of the Periodic Table cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
Can ammonia be broken down by a chemical reaction?
no
What is the sequence of steps by which large food molecules are broken down into their respective building blocks by catalytic enzymes within hydrolysis reactions called?
chemical digestion
The sequence of steps by which large food molecules are broken down into their respective building blocks by catalytic enzymes within hydrolysis reactions is called?
chemical digestion
Fats are broken down to two types of building blocks?
fatty acids.
What are the basic building blocks of government?
The basic building blocks of government are a legislature, a person in charge, the court system and the bureaucracy. Each larger government is broken down into smaller, sub-national governments.
Are elements chemically bonded?
Neither, because they don't get broken down at all they are one of itself. It isn't made into 2 types of substances. Only compounds get broken down chemically,
How are the basic building blocks in amino acids separated?
Amino acids are the basic building blocks. I think the question that is supposed to be asked is "How are the basic building blocks in proteins separated?".Amino acids are the building blocks, monomers, of proteins, polymers. Any monomers in any nutrient are broken apart through hydrolysis reactions. In the process, a water molecule is split and an oxygen and a hydroxide "cap" the ends of the strand.
What is a cheminal element?
A chemical element, or an element, is a material which cannot be broken down or changed into another substance using chemical means. Elements may be thought of as the basic chemical building blocks of matter. Depending on how much evidence you require to prove a new element has been created, there are 117 or 118 known elements.
In what order is protein broken down during digestion?
Polypeptides, peptides, amino acids
Does breaking monomer cause polymers?
No. Monomers are the building blocks of Polymers. When a Polymer is broken (by Hydrolysis) you get monomers or a monomer and a shorter ploymer.
What small molecules result when protein are chemically changed by digestion?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids. These are actually called the building blocks of proteins.
What nutrient can lead to being overweight?
Primarily fats but also carbohydrates because they are broken down into smaller nutrient building blocks and stored in the body as fat when they are in excess.
What is the hawaiian term for lava that has a rough surface made of broken lava blocks?
Volcanic blocks
