In comparison to the composition of carbohydrates and fats, which element found in proteins makes them unique?

1 answer:

3 0

Proteins are the only macronutrients that contain <u>nitrogen</u>, but carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins all contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Nitrogen is a naturally occurring element that is necessary for both plant and animal growth and reproduction.
It is present in many different chemical and inorganic compounds, including the amino acids that make up proteins, the nucleic acids that make up the genetic material and the blueprint for all organisms' viability.
High-protein, high-purine foods like beef, shellfish, and organ meat are among the foods that contain a lot of nitrogen.
For life to be nourished, renewed, and sustained, proteins are essential. Proteins contain the atoms carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, much like carbohydrates and lipids do.

This state is talking about Algae.

Indeed, the algae can be classified according to their pigmentation. In the broadest sense of the term, algae gather:

* Prokaryotic organisms: Cyanobacteria (formerly called "blue-green algae" or Cyanophyceae);

* Eukaryotes:

-various groups with unicellular species (Euglenophytes, Cryptophytes, Haptophytes, Glaucophytes, etc.),

-other groups with unicellular or multicellular species:

"red algae" or Rhodophyta,

Stramenopiles (including diatoms and "brown algae" or Phéophycées),

-and finally, plants quite close to terrestrial plants: "green algae", which include, among others, Ulvophyceae.

Answer: Option B) allosteric activation

Energy required by the cell is generated in the form of ATP. ATP is hydrolyzed to power many of the cellular processes, increasing the pool of ADP. As the relative amount of ADP molecules increases, they can bind to glycolytic enzymes, which will lead to the production of more ATP. The best way to describe this mechanism of regulation is allosteric activation

Explanation:

Some enzymes have more than one active site. The other site(s) is called allosteric site.

In this case, ADP released from the glycolytic reactions binds to the allosteric sites of glycolytic enzymes, activating them and causing further breakdown of glucose, hence ATP continues to be generated.

ATP + H2O ---> ADP + Pi + free energy

Answer:

Sample A

T= 21.3% and A= 21.3%

G=28.7% and C= 28.7%

SAMPLE B

T=28.7% and A= 28.7%

G= 21.3% and C= 21.3%

Sample A would have higher melting temperature

Explanation:

According to given information, sample A contains 21.3% thymine.

Percentage of adenine in sample A= 21.3% (Since adenine base pairs with thymine, so, adenine and thymine are present in equal amount in a double stranded DNA)

Total of A+T in sample A= 21.3 + 21.3 = 42.6%

G+ C content of sample A= 100-42.6= 57.4%

Percent G content of sample A = 57.4/2 = 28.7%

Percent C content of sample A = 28.7%

SAMPLE B:

According to the given information, sample B contains 28.7% thymine.

Therefore, percent of Adenine base in sample B= 28.7%

Total of A+T content in sample B= 28.7 + 28.7 = 57.4%

G + C content of the sample B = 100-57.4= 42.6%

Percent G content of the sample B= 42.6/2= 21.3%

Percent C content of sample B = 21.3%

There are three hydrogen bonds between a GC pair while there are only two hydrogen bonds between AT pair. The DNA content with higher GC content has higher melting temperature. Therefore, sample A would have higher melting temperature.
