What are the basic units single atoms molecules or formula units that compose each substance Fe NO3 2 and N2F4?

Iron (Fe) consists of single atoms, nitrate (NO3-) consists of molecules, and nitrogen tetrafluoride (N2F4) consists of molecules.


What do we call a chemical that breaks down large molecules of food into smaller molecules of food?

We call the chemical that breaks down large molecules of food into smaller molecules "enzymes." Enzymes play a crucial role in the digestion process by catalyzing the breakdown of macromolecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into smaller units that can be absorbed by the body for energy and nutrients.


When changing from smaller to larger units the number of units will?

The number of units will decrease and if it is going from largest to smallest the number of units will increase.


What type of reactions build large molecules from smaller and simpler molecules?

Anabolic reactions build large molecules from smaller and simpler molecules through processes like dehydration synthesis. These reactions require energy input to form bonds and create complex molecules used for growth, repair, and energy storage in organisms.


Is Catabolism driven by synthesis reactions?

No, catabolism is driven by breakdown reactions where larger molecules are broken down into smaller units, releasing energy in the process. Conversely, anabolism is driven by synthesis reactions where smaller molecules are combined to form larger molecules, requiring energy input.

What are the smaller units that DNA are made of?

Molecules. DNA is a big molecule made by smaller molecules. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA


What are macromolescules?

Macromolecules are giant molecules that are formed when thousands of smaller units of identical molecules are joined together. This process of joining together smaller identical units into a large macromolecules (polymer) is called polymerisation.


Large molecule made of several repeated units?

It's called a polymer ( the single unit is a monomer) a repetitive bonding of a series of smaller molecules, a good example being a complex sugar molecule, a carbohydrate, compose of a string of smaller simple sugars (monosaccharides) to make it a polysaccharide.


Small units of matter are called molecules. When they are broken into smaller units what are they called?

When molecules are broken down into smaller units, they are called atoms. Atoms are the basic building blocks of all matter and cannot be further divided into smaller particles without losing their chemical properties.


A general process which breaks down large molecules into smaller ones?

The process you are referring to is called catabolism. Catabolism involves breaking down large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process. This process is essential for producing energy and building blocks for anabolic reactions in cells.


What substance has large molecules of smaller units?

Polymers are substances that have large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers. Examples include plastics, DNA, proteins, and carbohydrates.


What are extremely small units of matter?

Molecules, and atoms that make up molecules. An atom is made of smaller particles called protons, electrons, and neutrons. Smaller to this are groups such as fermions, Hadrons, Bosons


Is a polymerization anabolism or catabolism?

Polymerization can be anobolic or catabolic when it is taking place in biomolecules.Anabolic if, set of metabolic pathways lead to construct molecules from smaller units which require energy and catabolic if, set of pathways break down molecules into smaller units and release energy.


What smaller units make up fats?

The smaller units that make up fats are called TRIGLYCERIDE


What are most of the molecules that compose the plasma membrane?

phospholipids
