[ { "from": "human", "value": "What are digestion, cellular respiration, and hydrolysis?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "These are catabolic reactions.\nExplanation: Catabolic reactions are processes that break down complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy in the process. Digestion, cellular respiration, and hydrolysis are examples of catabolic reactions that occur in living organisms." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "What are some types of suspensions?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Blood, soil, and stew are types of suspensions.\nExplanation: Suspensions are mixtures where particles are not dissolved but are dispersed throughout a liquid." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "What process does the term catabolic describe in molecular biology?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Catabolic refers to the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones.\nExplanation: Catabolic processes are metabolic pathways in which complex molecules, such as proteins and carbohydrates, are degraded into simpler substances." } ]
