Broken Give Examples Large Molecules Smaller Exothermic Reactions

Examples of exothermic reactions (breaking down large molecules into smaller ones) include glucose breakdown in respiration for energy release and excess protein breakdown into urea for excretion.

Ejemplos de reacciones exotérmicas (descomposición de moléculas grandes en pequeñas) incluyen la descomposición de glucosa en la respiración para liberar energía y la descomposición de proteínas en urea para la excreción.

Front Give some examples where large molecules are broken down into smaller ones - exothermic reactions.
Back
  • Glucose is broken down in respiration, which transfers energy to power the reactions in the body
  • Excess protein is broken down to produce urea, which is excreted in urine
