What else can I help you with?
Molecules which serve as chemicals to make reaction work- like the breakdown of food molecules?
They are called enzymes. They aren't necessarily considered molecules, but I suppose they are, perhaps very large ones. These enzymes act as a catalyst to speed the decompositions along. Stomach acid helps by oxidising the food as well as creating the environment for the proteins to function.
What do we call a chemical that breaks down large molecules of food into smaller molecules of food?
We call the chemical that breaks down large molecules of food into smaller molecules "enzymes." Enzymes play a crucial role in the digestion process by catalyzing the breakdown of macromolecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into smaller units that can be absorbed by the body for energy and nutrients.
What is breaking down of food by the action of enzymes?
Digestive juices and enzymes break down the complex food materials into simpler compounds and that is how they facilitate in digestion.
How do enzymes affect food?
Enzymes help in digestion of food by catalyzing the biochemcal reactions between food molecules and chemicals that helps in digestion. Enzymes speed up the biochemical reactions and act as catalysts.
What do you call the molecules which make reactions work such as the breakdown of food molecules?
Enzymes are the molecules responsible for catalyzing biochemical reactions, including the breakdown of food molecules. They act as biological catalysts by lowering the activation energy required for these reactions to occur.
What is the term for molecules which serve as chemicals to make a reaction work- like the breakdown of food molecules?
enzymes
Which process breaks down large food molecules into smaller molecules using enzymes?
Chemical digestion
What substance enter into the food vacuole in amoeba to break down the food?
Enzymes are the substances that enter the food vacuole in amoebas to break down the food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the cell. These enzymes help in the process of digestion within the food vacuole.
Enzymes are carbohydrates molecules?
Enzymes are not carbohydrate molecules. They are protein molecules.
Why does enzymes digest large food molecules?
toto enable digestion and subsequently absorbtion of food nutrients
What is responsible for breaking food molecules into smaller molecules?
The process of digestion, primarily involving enzymes, breaks down food molecules into smaller molecules in the stomach and small intestine. Enzymes play a crucial role in catalyzing reactions that break down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.
Are most enzymes carbohydrate molecules?
Enzymes are not carbohydrate molecules. They are protein molecules.
