What else can I help you with?
Do anabolic reactions release energy while building polymers?
no. Anabolic reactions require energy...they are endergonic.
Is a chemical process that uses light energy from the sun to build organic molecules?
This process is called photosynthesis and is carried out by plants, algae, and some bacteria. It involves converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a sugar molecule used for energy storage. Photosynthesis is fundamental for the production of oxygen and the basis of almost all life on Earth.
How do cells decompose polymers?
Cells decompose polymers through the process of hydrolysis, where water molecules break the bonds linking monomer units in the polymer. Enzymes catalyze these hydrolysis reactions to efficiently break down polymers into their constituent monomers, which can then be used for energy or to build new molecules.
What about the monomers and polymers found in living organisms is false?
Monomers are the smaller molecular units that are used to build polymers in living organisms, such as amino acids forming proteins. Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units of monomers, like DNA made of nucleotide monomers. The statement that monomers and polymers found in living organisms are false is inaccurate; they are essential components of biological molecules.
Why are monomers important to polymers?
Monomers are smaller molecules which, connected by covalent chemical bonds, link together to form huge polymer molecules. These molecules tend to be very strong, and are found in substances such as plastics. Remember: mono=1, poly=many
What is anabolc polimerization?
chemical reactions that synthesizes molecules from smaller components, usually requiring energy in the process. The anabolic process uses monomers to build polymers such as Amino acids (monomers).
Do anabolic reactions release energy while building polymers?
no. Anabolic reactions require energy...they are endergonic.
What process is used to take two small organic molecules and build a large one?
Biosynthesis
What occurs when organisms build organic compounds?
Organisms build organic compounds through a process called biosynthesis, where they convert simpler molecules into more complex ones using energy. This process allows them to create essential biomolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, which are necessary for growth, repair, and functioning of cells and tissues.
What is the special name for the process of using chemical materials to build up new structure?
Synthesis.
What is the special name for the process of using chemical materials to build up new structures?
anabolism
Single unit makes up your macromolecules?
They are called monomers. They build up polymers
Describe how polymers are built and how they are broken down?
To Break a polymer water is used to break the inonic bonds in a process know as the hydrolosis effect. RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM.
How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis related?
They are (generally) opposite reactions. Dehydration (condensation) reactions build polymers from monomers by removing water while hydrolysis reactions break polymers into monomers by adding water.
Is a chemical process that uses light energy from the sun to build organic molecules?
This process is called photosynthesis and is carried out by plants, algae, and some bacteria. It involves converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a sugar molecule used for energy storage. Photosynthesis is fundamental for the production of oxygen and the basis of almost all life on Earth.
Is protein synthesis a chemical process or reaction?
Protein synthesis is a complex biological process in which cells build proteins by reading the instructions encoded in DNA. While it involves many chemical reactions, it is more accurately described as a series of coordinated biochemical reactions rather than a single chemical process.
How do cells decompose polymers?
Cells decompose polymers through the process of hydrolysis, where water molecules break the bonds linking monomer units in the polymer. Enzymes catalyze these hydrolysis reactions to efficiently break down polymers into their constituent monomers, which can then be used for energy or to build new molecules.
