Hydrolysis.
I remember it as hydro = water, lysis = to split.
Rubber can be broken down through a process called oxidation, where oxygen reacts with the rubber molecules and causes them to break apart.
Hydrolysis is the chemical reaction that breaks down large molecules into smaller molecules by adding water. Hydrolysis involves the cleavage of chemical bonds through the addition of water molecules.
When a liquid or gas is heated, the molecules move faster, bump into each other, and spread apart. Because the molecules are spread apart, they take up more space. They are less dense. The opposite occurs when a liquid or gas is cooled.
Cracking is a process in which larger hydrocarbon molecules are broken down into smaller ones by heat and pressure, often used to produce gasoline. Polymerization is a process in which smaller molecules, called monomers, are chemically joined together to form larger molecules called polymers, used to create plastics and synthetic materials. In summary, cracking breaks molecules apart while polymerization joins molecules together.
Large groups of sugar molecules break apart in water due to the solvent properties of water. The polar nature of water molecules interacts with the polar components of sugar molecules, causing them to dissolve and separate into individual sugar molecules. This process is known as hydration.
The chemical process by which molecules are broken down into their smaller components is called catabolism.
Rubber can be broken down through a process called oxidation, where oxygen reacts with the rubber molecules and causes them to break apart.
Hydrolysis
Oxygen bubbles are produced when water molecules are broken apart through photosynthesis or electrolysis. This process releases oxygen gas as a byproduct.
Hydrolysis. Polymers are broken down into monomers in a process known as hydrolysis
Hydrolysis is the chemical reaction that breaks down large molecules into smaller molecules by adding water. Hydrolysis involves the cleavage of chemical bonds through the addition of water molecules.
When molecules are broken apart in respiration, energy is released in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is the energy currency of the cell. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves the breakdown of glucose or other nutrients to produce ATP through a series of biochemical reactions.
When a liquid or gas is heated, the molecules move faster, bump into each other, and spread apart. Because the molecules are spread apart, they take up more space. They are less dense. The opposite occurs when a liquid or gas is cooled.
Disaccharides are broken down by hydrolysis, which is the addition of water molecule, to turn into two monosaccharides
Molecules of substances cannot be broken down unless through chemical means. The bonds between atoms in molecules are too strong to break apart through other means.
When a hemoglobin molecule is broken apart, the iron pigment is released. This is what is called the -"heme" part of the molecule.
