here can be a number of chemical processes by which a compounds can be broken down into simpler substances. The most common and wide-spread of such processes is Catabolism. Along with anabolism, catabolism make up the metabolism process for living organisms. In catabolism, complex chemical molecules (such as proteins, polysaccharides, etc.) are broken down into simpler molecules (such as amino acids, monosaccharides, etc.). This is often accompanied by release of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules and intermediate metabolites (which can be used by the organism in the anabolic processes). The energy thus generated is used for operation and maintenance of cells (and consequently, the body).  

Other processes that break down chemical substances into simpler substances, include depolymerization, decomposition, etc.

Hope this helps.

Copper has a density of 8.920 g/cm3. What mass of copper will occupy 45cm3? What volume of copper will have a mass of 1.0 kg?
mixas84 [53]
Density = mass/volume
so rearranged mass = volume x density
mass = 8.920 x 45 = 401.4g

rearrange   (there are 1000grams in 1kg)
volume = mass/density
volume = 1000/8.920
volume = 112.1076233cm3

if a lead can be extrated with 92.5% efficiency,what is the mass of ore required to make a lead sphere with 750%cm radius
Lady_Fox [76]
The mass of ore required is 21 700 t.

r = 750 cm

V = \frac{4}{3}  \pi  r^{3} = \frac{4}{3}  \pi  (750 cm)^{3} = 1.767 × 10⁹ cm³

The density of lead is 11.34 g/cm³.

So mass of lead sphere = 1.767 × 10⁹ cm³ × \frac{11.34 g}{1 cm^{3} } = 2.004 ×10¹⁰ g

2.004 ×10¹⁰ g × \frac{1 kg}{1000 g} = 2.004 × 10⁷ kg

2.004 × 10⁷ kg × \frac{1 t}{1000 kg} = 2.004 × 10⁴ t

92.5% efficiency means 92.5 t Pb per 100 t of ore.

Mass of ore = 2.004 × 10⁴ t Pb ×\frac{100 tore}{92.5 t Pb} = 2.17 × 10⁴ t ore = 21 700 t ore
