Macromolecules are linked with covalent bonds between its monomers. For example proteins are bonded with peptide bonds. Hydrolysis of these bonds will break them to small peptides and ultimately forms amino acids. For any other macromolecules the same hydrolysis is a key to separate them. This reaction is catalysed by enzymes.
What else can I help you with?
Name the process where a solid breaks down in a liquid?
Dissolving?
What is the name of a surface membrane molecule that causes an immune reaction?
Antigens are surface membrane molecules that cause an immune reaction.
What molecule can break down into smaller molecules?
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.
What is the name often given to the force exerted by the second object back on the first object?
As the designation 'first' and 'second' (in this case) is purely objective (assigned by the viewer) there is no special terminology applied as both forces are exactly the same force and are known by exactly the same terms:gravitationalelectrostaticweak-nuclearstrong nuclearmagnetic
Name two stages of photosynthesis?
There is the light-dependent stage, where sunlight interacts with choloropyll to set up an electron-transport chain, then there is the chemical stage, where glucose molecules are synthesized from CO2 and H2O.
Which term identifies a reaction that break apart macromoleclues?
what is the name for a reaction that links monomers to from a chain
What is the name to the reaction that breaks peptide bonds?
hydrolisys
What is another name for condensation reaction?
A condensation reaction is a chemical reaction where man-made polymers are made. Condensation reaction is a reaction that links monomers with the release of water.
Why is hydrolysis an appropriate name for the reaction that breaks apart di- and polysaccharides into monosaccharides?
Hydrolysis means breaking a compound by adding water. In the case of di- and polysaccharides being broken down into monosaccharides, water molecules are added to the glycosidic bonds holding the sugar units together, causing them to break apart into smaller sugar units.
What is the name of the chemical reaction which combines monomers to make polymers?
Simply - polymerization. However, this is usually addition polymerization but not always. Nylon is formed by condensation polymerization and the polymers used to make waterbased latex paints is usually called emulsion polymerization.
Name the process when water freezes in a rock and breaks the rock apart?
The process is called mechanical weathering or freeze-thaw weathering. Water seeps into cracks in the rock, freezes, expands, and ultimately breaks the rock apart as the ice expands.
What name is given to larger polymers?
larger polymers may be called Macromolecules. Also they may be called simply High Molecular Weight Polymers.
What polymers made from chemicals?
my name is bob
What is another name for large polymers?
macromolecules.
What is the name of the process that breaks the bond in a polymer?
The reaction that breaks the bonds between atoms within a polymer chain is called "scission". The bonds between chains of monomers, if they exist at all, are not chemical bonds and are broken by thermal motion. *****It is actually called hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule is separated into two parts by adding a molecule of water.****
What is the full name for HDPE?
high density polymers
Name some polymers that are produced in nature?
There are several polymers in living beings, for example, proteins, DNA, RNA, and polysaccharides.
