Answer:
All organisms require sulfur as a macro-nutrient. (Ans. E)
Explanation:
Sulfur is necessary for all living things. It is taken up in the form of sulfate from the soil and sea water by the plants, and algae.
Sulfur is known as the essential nutrient for plant growth. Sulfur playing various important role in plants. About 90% of the sulfur is absorbed by the plants for the purpose of amino acids synthesis, known as the building blocks of proteins. Sulfur is important for the enzyme which is helping in the formation of the chlorophyll molecule. Sulfur is essential for the synthesis of oil crops.
In human body sulfur playing some essential role such as amino acid production which is converting into proteins and producing enzymes. Sulfur is important for insulin production, insulin allow the cells to use glucose as energy. Sulfur is found in most important antioxidant known as glutathione, which helping in the inhibition of oxidation of the other molecules and preventing from cell damage. Collagen provide skin strength and structure, sulfur is important for collagen synthesis as well.
Answer:
similarity
Starch, cellulose,dextran and glycogen are all polymers of glucose
differences
monomer/glucose glycosidic bond branching
1.starch α glucose 1-4 and 1-6 branch and unbranced
amylose 1-4 unbranched
amylopectin 1-4 and 1-6 branched
2. dextran α glucose 1-6 branched
3. cellulose β glucose 1-4 unbranched, linear
4. glycogen α glucose 1-4 and 1-6 branched (shorter
branches than starch)
Enzyme: amlase acts on starch and cellulase acts on cellulose as they are specific for their substrates.
Explanation:
Starch: Consists of both branched amylopectin and unbranched amylose
Enzymes: Enzymes are specific as the gulcose molecule in starch is α and in cellulose is β which differ in their position of hydroxyl groups at anomeric carbon, their structures differ so they form different bonds. Active sites of enzymes can act only on specific bonds a sthey can fit to their specific substrates.
Answer: they are specific in action
Explanation: The similarity between cell receptors and antibodies is that both are specific in action. They bind to their specific targets.
These targets can be determined by the shape of the receptor or the antibody. shape of a protein has a profound effect on its functions
Explanation:
Amylase, lipase, pepsin, trypsin
Help in digestion of food by catabolizing nutrients into monomeric units
Hemoglobin, albumin
Carry substances in the blood or lymph throughout the body
Actin, tubulin, keratin
Construct different structures, like the cytoskeleton
Insulin, thyroxine
Coordinate the activity of different body systems
Legume storage proteins, egg white (albumin) Provide nourishment in early development of the embryo and the seedling
