In a synthesis reaction two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex substance. Two or more reactants yielding one product
Ex) H2 + 1/2O2 --> H2O
Decomposition: a complex substance breaks down into simple substances.
Ex) 2H2O --> 2H2 + O2
Oxidative phosphorylation is ATP synthesis driven by electron transfer to oxygen and photophosphorylation is ATP synthesis driven by light. Oxidative phosphorylation is the culmination of energy-yielding metabolism in aerobic organisms and photophosphorylation is the means by which photosynthetic organisms capture the energy of sunlight, the ultimate source of energy in the biosphere.

•They both need oxygen to happen. •They both create energy, water and carbon dioxide. •Both processes give off heat •They are both considered chemical reactions.
Bacteria and fungi and worms are decomposers in the desert.
The difference is what it is
All of the decomposition reactions in an organism taken together is called catabolism, while the synthesis reactions are called anabolism.
Synthesis and decomposition reactions are opposites. Synthesis: A + B -> C Decomposition: C -> A + B They both involve three elements or compounds, one of which is a combination of the other two. An example: N2O5 -> NO2 + NO3 Is a decomposition reaction.
The three types of chemical reactions are: synthesis, decomposition, and replacement.
Exothermic reactions can be both decomposition reactions (breaking down a compound into simpler substances) and synthesis reactions (forming a compound from simpler substances). The key factor that determines whether a reaction is exothermic is whether it releases heat to its surroundings.
Synthesis, Decomposition, Replacement
The three categories of chemical reactions are synthesis (combination), decomposition, and replacement (single or double displacement) reactions. Synthesis reactions involve the combination of two or more substances to form a new compound. Decomposition reactions involve the breakdown of a compound into simpler substances. Replacement reactions involve the exchange of ions between compounds.
In cells, synthesis and decomposition reactions are coupled through metabolic pathways. Synthesis reactions build complex molecules by combining simpler ones, while decomposition reactions break down complex molecules into simpler components. These reactions are interconnected in metabolic pathways, where the products of one reaction serve as substrates for another, allowing cells to efficiently produce and break down molecules as needed.
I believe there are 6... (I'm a chemistry major) Combustion, synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and acid-base.
The short answer is combustion reactions are a subset of synthesis reactions that require one of the reactants to be oxygen. Common combustion of organic molecules results in the formation of CO2 . However, it is not required that combustion be limited to organic molecules. They are different from decomposition reactions in the same way synthesis is the opposite of decomposition.
Bleach undergoes a decomposition reaction, not a synthesis reaction. Decomposition reactions involve a compound breaking down into simpler substances, whereas synthesis reactions involve the formation of a compound by combining simpler substances.
the 3 key types of chemical reactions are synthesis, decomposition, and neutralization.
