What type of reaction occurs when large carbohydrate molecules are broken down into smaller sugars? select one: a. dna guiding the production of a particular protein. b. dna synthesis. c. anabolism. d. catabolism. e. dehydration synthesis?

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.

Mitosis and Meiosis-their differences and similarities

Similarities: both mitosis and meiosis are multistage processes. The stages are interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. The same general processes occur in each of these stages for mitosis and meiosis. Interphase is cell growth and DNA replication in preparation for cell division
