Question

Why a series of chemical reaction are some of the most common chemical means to break- down molecules?

Answer 1

since we know that in a chemical reaction the reactants on the rhs react with each other to form the products on the lhs,as the compounds react with each other they break down to form another new compounds due to get reacted by some catalyst or reagants though it gets break down in some cases it also produces a lot of heat energy ,take it for example:-

1. O2+C6H12O6=CO2+H2O+heat energy (38 atp molecules)
