when sugar dissolves in water the sugar molecules are more attracted-to the water than each other.the molecules-break apart from each other and water molecules surround them.
Enzymes are the special proteins that can break down large molecules into smaller molecules. These biological catalysts speed up chemical reactions in cells by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.
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.
No, catabolic reactions break down large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process. Anabolic reactions, on the other hand, use energy to synthesize large molecules from smaller ones.
Bonds break when heated as the force of attraction between the molecules start getting weak and the kinetic energy pulls them apart from each other.Hence, the molecules are free to move.For eg. It is very difficult to get iron into molten state but during the process of wielding iron get molted due to production of large amount of heat.
Molecules containing a large number of hydroxyl groups are known as polyols or polyalcohols. They are commonly found in natural compounds such as sugars and polyols serve as important building blocks in the chemical industry to produce polymers, plastics, and other materials.

Reactions that break apart large molecules are involved in catabolic processes, such as digestion or cellular respiration. These reactions help to release energy by breaking down complex molecules, like carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, into simpler compounds that can be used by cells for energy production and other processes.

Large molecules are formed through a variety of chemical reactions, such as polymerization or condensation reactions. To break these molecules down, typically a hydrolysis reaction is needed, where water is used to break the bonds holding the large molecules together.
The subatomic particles of the Atom (neutrons, protons, electrons) are released at high velocity. Some of these particles can strike other atoms and cause them to break apart, releasing large amounts of energy; this is called nuclear fission (atoms fissioning into lighter atoms). A self-sustaining fission reaction where atoms break apart, and cause other atoms to break apart, can be created with many radioactive elements such as Plutonium or Uranium in an event called a Chain Reaction.
they break down larger molecules If a cell organisation is disturbed , lysosomes break down and digest.

The large diversity of shapes of biological molecules is possible because of the extensive presence of functional groups. Functional groups are specific groups of atoms within molecules that confer unique chemical properties and reactivity. These functional groups can interact with each other and with other molecules through various types of chemical bonds, leading to the wide array of shapes and structures seen in biological molecules.
