A cell breaks down macromolecules during periods of energy demand or nutrient scarcity. This process typically occurs in response to increased energy needs, such as during exercise or fasting, when the cell needs to generate ATP. Additionally, cells may degrade macromolecules to recycle components or eliminate damaged proteins and organelles through processes like autophagy.
What else can I help you with?
Where in the animal cell would the breakdown of engulfed bacteria debris and macromolecules occur?
lysomoes
What is degradation of macromolecules?
Degradation of macromolecules refers to the breakdown of large biological molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates, into smaller components. This process is essential for recycling building blocks and providing energy for the cell. Degradation can occur through enzymatic reactions, such as proteolysis or glycolysis.
Are membrane macromolecules found in plant cells?
Yes plants and animal cell membranes are having macromolecules on them. They are mainly lipids and integral and peripheral proteins. The pattern of this is well explained as "fluid-mossaic model".
What Synthesizes macromolecules in the cell?
Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing macromolecules in the cell, including proteins and nucleic acids. Ribosomes can be found in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
This type of macromolecules is a component of the cell membrane that helps move molecules in and out of the cell?
Transmembrane Proteins

What would happen to a human cell if they had no membrane?
Its contents would leak all over and breakdown and therefore it would not be a cell.
What is the Golgi bodies do?
The Golgi apparatus/body is a lot like the warehouse of the cell. It takes in macromolecules that are formed in the cell and occasionally modifies them. Then it sorts the macromolecules and packages them for use within the cell or secretion out of the cell.
What reaction takes place during the breakdown of macromolecules?
Mainly it is a hydrolysis. It releases a water molecule
What describes some aspect of metabolism a. synthesis of macromolecules. b. contol of enzyme activity. c. breakdown of macromolecules d. Aand B only e. AB and C?
e. AB and C Metabolism involves the synthesis of macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, as well as the breakdown of macromolecules to provide energy and building blocks for cellular processes. Additionally, metabolism involves the control of enzyme activity to regulate the various metabolic pathways within cells.
Are membrane macromolecules found in plant cells?
Yes plants and animal cell membranes are having macromolecules on them. They are mainly lipids and integral and peripheral proteins. The pattern of this is well explained as "fluid-mossaic model".
What is the function of a Lysosomes in a plant cell?
hydrolyzes the macromolecules
What Synthesizes macromolecules in the cell?
Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing macromolecules in the cell, including proteins and nucleic acids. Ribosomes can be found in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
What is dehydrolysis?
To disassemble or breakdown macromolecules. Water is added instead of removed. Hyrdo = water Lysis = slicing something
What type of macromolecules is the main component of cell membranes?
Phospholipids
What cell contains water macromolecules and other substances?
A vacuole is a cell organelle that contains water, macromolecules, and other substances. Vacuoles play a role in maintaining cell turgor pressure and storing nutrients and waste products.
