Enzymes
Digestion
Yes. A molecule is made up of atoms, and similarly atoms can be broken down into smaller components called protons, neutrons, and electrons. These can be further broken down into quarks and leptons, the building blocks for all matter.
Large carbohydrates are broken down by hydrolysis, or the addition of water molecules.
Lysosomes.
In the body, large food molecules (eg. carbohydrates, proteins) are broken down by enzymes to form simpler substances. for example, carbohydrase enzymes break carbohydrates down into simple sugars such as glucose. glucose is then used in the process of cellular respiration, within the mitochondria. this process releases energy.
process that release energy by breaking down food molecules in the presence of oxygen
Digestive juices and enzymes break down the complex food materials into simpler compounds and that is how they facilitate in digestion.
The process that breaks up molecules into smaller units is called catabolism. Large molecules, such as nucleic acids, are broken down into smaller molecules, such as amino acids.
Physical digestion is the term for breaking down large food molecules into small molecules. Mechanical digestion and physical digestion mean the same thing.
Hydrolysis
nuclear explosions or bacteria
the cytoplasm helps the organelles function by breaking down glucose into smaller molecules. From there, the smaller molecules of glucose go into the mitochondria and mix with oxygen to form CO2, Water, and large amounts of energy
All digestive enzymes are hydrolases which use molecule of water and break large molecules by hydrolysis in smaller ones .
Catabolism is the process in which a complex substance is broken down into its smaller components. For example is you excersice for a sufficient amount of time, your body will begin "burining fat" (i.e., breaking it down into smaller molecules to release the necessary energy required for continued exercise).
Yes. A molecule is made up of atoms, and similarly atoms can be broken down into smaller components called protons, neutrons, and electrons. These can be further broken down into quarks and leptons, the building blocks for all matter.
Chemical digestion
They are called enzymes.
They digest food with enzymes; breaking down large molecules into small ones.
