Which organic molecules are NOT built from monomers?

Organic molecules that are not built from repeating monomers typically include simple molecules like water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2), as well as complex molecules such as cholesterol and certain hormones. These molecules do not follow a polymerization process like monomers linking to form polymers.

What is the reverse process where in the lipid molecules that have been built up by dehydration synthesis and be broken down?

The reverse process of dehydration synthesis, where lipid molecules are built up, is called hydrolysis. During hydrolysis, water molecules are used to break the chemical bonds between fatty acids and glycerol in lipids, resulting in the breakdown of triglycerides and other lipid forms into their constituent components. This process is vital for metabolism, allowing the body to utilize stored fats for energy.


What is the fewest number of catalase molecules needed to break down 10 molecules of hydrogen peroxide?

Each catalase molecule can break down one molecule of hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, at least 10 catalase molecules would be needed to break down 10 molecules of hydrogen peroxide.


What is the process of molecules breaking down in the intestine?

In the intestine, complex molecules are broken down into simpler molecules by enzymes released from the pancreas and small intestine. These simpler molecules, such as sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids, can then be absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal lining for use by the body. The process of breaking down molecules in the intestine is crucial for extracting nutrients from food.
