Question

ALL of the reactions that are used by a cell to "deal" with energy are known as ___. The reactions that break down large molecules to release energy are referred to as ___; while the reactions that build large molecules from smaller subunits are called ____. You learned in your college biology class, that the process of binding two monomers to each other to make a larger molecule releases a water molecule. For example, when a glucose and a fructose bind to each other, the products of the reaction are sucrose (a disaccharide) and water. This process is called ____. This process also requires energy so it is known as a(n) _____ process. The opposite process, indicated by this chemical reaction: sucrose + water --> glucose + fructose is called _ _____ or _ ___.

Explanation / Answer

All of the reactions that are used by a cell to deal with energy are known as CELL REACTION.The reaction that break down large molecules to release energy are referred to as nuclear Fission while the reactions that build large molecules from smaller subunits are called nuclear FUSION.

When glucose and fructose bind to each other to form Sucrose and Water The process is called DEHYDRATION.As energy is required in this process so its called an ENDOTHERMIC process.

The opposite reaction sucrose +water --->glucose + fructose is called HYDRATION reaction as it energy is released in this process so it is also called Exothermic Process.
