Discuss the process by which amino acids are joined together and broken down

Biology
1 answer:

3 0
Amino acids are joined together when an enzyme called peptidyl transferase catalyzes a bond between the carboxyl group (COOH) of one amino acid and the amino group (NH2) of the second amino acid to form a peptide bond in a reaction called dehydration synthesis because a water molecule is lost in the process. The CO of one amino acid binds to the NH of the other to form this bond thus a larger molecule is synthesized.
This molecule can again be broken into individual amino acids by simply adding a molecule of water to the peptide in the presence of an acid e.g  hydrochloric acid  or protease enzyme e.g pancreatic protease. The acid provides the extra hydrogen atom needed to form water.  This process or reaction is called hydrolysis.

ladessa [460]

The right options are; makes food for all organisms, adds oxygen to the atmosphere, is a source of medicines and fibers, is a source of building materials and it provides animal habitat.

Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants and some other autotrophs use light energy in chloroplasts to generate carbohydrates (food) from carbon dioxide and water while oxygen is being released as a by-product. Photosynthesis is essential to all living organisms on earth because it is the main source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Photosynthesis provides animal habitat, it provides food for all organisms (directly for plants and indirectly for animals). Plants and trees produce their foods through photosynthesis and are used as medicines and fibers, and as building materials.
