What is a combination of two or more substances that are chemically combined?
a compound. on their own they are either elements or molecularly smaller compounds.
What is the difference between silt and clay?
The difference is that clay is smaller than silt, and clay is sticky, while the silt is loose and feels silky.
What is the chemical process in which smaller compounds are joined to form larger compounds?
synthesis
What is the definition of the shrub layer?
The shrub layer is composed mostly of woody, perennial shrubs less than ten feet in height and younger, smaller trees awaiting a gap in the canopy to grow to full stature.
What are the layers of rock made of?
Layers or strata in sedimentary rock are composed of deposited smaller rock particles and possibly organic matter.
Nucleic acids are polymers of smaller subunits that are called what?
Nucleic acids are composed of monomers called nucleotides.
What enzyme will break down starch into smaller subunits?
Amylase
What kind of reaction forms large molecules by combining smaller subunits?
anabolic
Are polypeptides made of polysaccharides?
No. Polypeptides and polysaccharides are two different types of macromolecules. The first class is commonly called "proteins" and the second is commonly called "sugars." Both are polymers - molecules that are composed of smaller subunits called monomers. Polypeptides ― or proteins ― are composed of monomers called amino acids. In contrast, polysaccharides are composed of monomers called monosaccharides.
What is the name of Jupiter gas?
The gas content of Jupiter is mostly molecular hydrogen, with a smaller amount of helium (about one tenth by composition, or a quarter by mass). Suspended in the atmosphere are other compounds although not necessarily gaseous (such as ammonium compounds).
How many subunits are in the ribosome?
Two sub-units. One is larger and the other is smaller.
What are the filsments of DNA and protein?
In essence, a protein filament is a long strand (aka filament) that's made of protein (hence, "protein filament"). So they are composed of smaller, protein subunits, which are single protein molecules.
What is the general term used to describe large compounds that have been produced by joining together of smaller compounds?
Polymers are large compounds that have been produced by joining together of smaller compounds.
Protein is a chain of linked smaller molecules called?
Proteins are made from long chains of smaller molecules called amino acids. Amino acids are biologically important organic compounds that are composed of amine and carboxylic acid.
How can compounds be separated into smaller particles?
Compounds can be decomposed by chemical reactions.
What are large compounds made by joining together smaller compounds?
"polymers"
Why are thymine and cytosine are called pyrimidines?
Adenine and guanine are called purines because they are composed of the 2-ringed heterocyclic aromatic organic compound purine.
