What type of reaction occurs when large carbohydrate molecules are broken down into smaller sugars? select one:

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: D

Carbolic reactions breaks larger substances to smaller ones.

Anabolic reactions forms larger compounds from smaller units.

DNA synthesis does not involve breaking down of sugars.

Dehydration is a umbrella term used for reactions that releases water as a byproduct. In the case of sugars, they are held by Glycosidic bonds. To break them, hydration is needed as 1 water molecule breaks 1 glycosidic bond. The process of forming large units of sugars involves dehydration to form the glycosidic bonds. Therefore option d is wrong.

DNA guiding production of protein is definitely wrong as this process doesn't cause sugars to break down at all.

Which two actions happen when bonds in ATP molecules are broken?

pochemuha

The ATP molecule is a high energy molecule. When a molecule of ATP breakdown, it produces chemical as well as thermal energy. The type of energy produced is mainly depends on the application for example, if the ATP breaks down to ADP, it produces thermal energy and if couples with a cellular process it produces chemical potential.

Our body needs energy to carry out cellular functions and the energy produced in a form of ATP is taken by cells to perform functions.
