Differences between small molecules and macromolecules?
Poly=many, meros=parts A macromolecule is defined as a molecule which consists of around(it's arbitrary) 1000 atoms. A polymer is a molecule (yes! only 1 molecule!) which is synthesized(polymerized) by the joining of the smaller units of the polymer, called the monomer. A polymer is thus a macromolecule because it is obviously going to be large due to smaller units joining onto each other repeatedly. But that does not necessarily mean a macromolecule is a polymer. A fat, for example, is a synthesized by the condensation reaction of only 4 molecules- glycerol and 3 fatty acids. It is big, but does not consist of repeating smaller units.
A pyruvate molecule is broken down into chemicals such as ethanol or lactate in a process called?
fermentation
When polysaccharides are divided into monosaccharides what molecule must be added?
water must be added and the process is called Hydrolysis
A covalent bond between two atoms produced by sharing two pairs of electrons is called a?
The bond is polar covalent.
Which macromolecule has cis-carbon-carbon double bond?
The carboxyl group is classified as a radical (which does not mean the same thing in chemistry that it does in politics). It is part of a molecule, not an entire molecule, and not a macromolecule.
When a bond forms between units of a macromolecule a water molecule is lost. What is this process called?
dehydration
What is a process called when a bond forms between units of a macromolecule a water molecule is lost?
dehydration
What is a DNA molecule that is a large polymer?
Large polymers are often called macromolecules.
What is the difference between macromolecules and micromolecules?
molecule having high molecular weight is called macromolecule while a molecule having low molecular weight is called micromolecule
What is a large molecule made of many identical or similar subunits linked together called?
macromolecule
When an ADP molecule gains a phosphate it becomes an ATP molecule. This process is called?
This process is called phosphorylation.
How does DNA relate to macromolecules?
DNA is called a macromolecule because it is a huge molecule that fits into small cells. Micro means small, while Macro means big....that why it is huge!!
When one glycerol molecule covalently bonds via dehydration synthesswith three fatty acid molecules the resulting macromolecule is called?
Triglyceride
When an ADP molecule gains a phosphate it becomes an ATP molecule. This process is called .?
phosphorilation
What is the process called where we add hydrogen to the molecule?
The process is called hydrogenation.
Is an orange a macromolecule?
No. An orange is a fruit, not a molecule, though an orange does contain macromolecules.
Large molecules made of carbon and hydrogen atoms?
This type of molecule is called macromolecule.
