1. How are macromolecule polymers assembled from monomers? How are they broken down?

1 answer:

3 0

Macromolecule polymers are assembled by the connecting of repeating monomers. For every subunit supplementary to a macromolecule one water molecule is detached. Macromolecule polymers are broken down by breaking bonds among subunits. This procedure is named hydrolysis and is the opposite of dehydration in which they are broken down over hydrolysis or the use of water to break down polymers.

Explanation:

options:

contain different chemical elements
form different proteins
carry different nucleotides
perform different functions

Because they have different structures, they most likely-<u>perform different functions.</u>

Carbohydrates function to supply energy and support molecules they consist of mainly sugars or starches in long chains and rings to form monosaccharide monomers. They include monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides which describes the type of bonding and the degree of complexity of the polymers. Their structure is closely related to their function.

Basic makeup: C, H, O -with many polar OH groups

Further Explanation:

Many long chain polysaccharides are made up of glucose joined by regular α, 1-4 glycosidic bonds used as energy storage (produced through phtosynthesis) and used for ATP synthesis via respiration, ethyl alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation. Branched chains of α, 1-4 glycosidic bonds linked by α(1→6) glycosidic bonds make up glycogen, a storage molecule in animals. Plants are mostly comprised of structural units cellulose and lignin. However, cellulose is their main structural polysaccharide, found within cell walls.

It is made up of special β, 1-4 glycosidic bonds, which give structural polysaccharides their rigid, strong structure; cellulose is not water-soluble and is highly stable. However, if these alternating bonds aren't present, the plants would lose their main structural support, which allows larger plants, and trees to grow upwards towards sunlight despite their mass. When arranged in α 1-4 glycosidic bonds these molecules are water-soluble; water would be able to flow readily out of the plant tissue. Thus the plant cells and tissue, would not retain their shapes and may be limited in their potential height without structural support.

Burka [1]

Answer:

The domain to which the statement refers is the Bacteria domain.

Explanation:

According to taxonomy there are three domains to classify living organisms, according to their cellular characteristics: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya, corresponding to the three main branches of the tree of life

The Bacteria domain encompasses prokaryotic unicellular organisms that lack most of the organelles, endomembrane systems or true nucleus -without nuclear membrane- so their genetic material is dispersed in the cytoplasm.

The only organelle bacteria present is the ribosome, so it is possible to find ribosomal RNA in them. Microorganisms such as bacteria belong to this domain.
