What are the primary structures and functions of macromolecules?

Biology
1 answer:
masya89 [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

There are four major classes of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids); each is an important cell component and performs a wide array of functions. Combined, these molecules make up the majority of cell's dry mass (recall that water makes up the majority of its complete mass)

Kryger [21]
B) Physiological because C is relating to the inside of the organism, A is relating to the forming part of a building or another item and D is reacting to their physical surroundings, so the only other answer would have to be B because in physiological in animals and humans alike, they change something of their physical self's to attain to the environment around them.

Homework. Unanswered
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Gram-positive bacteria are bacteria that have thick cell walls which yield positive results in the Gram staining test. Lipoteichoic acid is a major component of the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria.

  • All bacteria indicated in the question can be classified by the Gram staining test:
  1. Actinomycetes are Gram-positive bacteria
  2. The genus <em>Arthrobacter </em>includes Gram-positive bacteria
  3. <em>Escherichia coli </em>(<em>E. coli</em>) is a Gram-negative bacterium
  4. <em>Staphylococcus spp.</em> are Gram-positive bacteria
  5. <em>Bacillus spp</em> are Gram-positive bacteria
  6. <em>Mycobacterium spp.</em> are Gram-positive bacteria

  • Prokaryotes can be divided into two domains: Bacteria and Archaea.

  • Gram staining is a method used to classify bacteria, but this method IS NOT USED to stain Archaea.

  • In consequence, I would not use the Gram test to stain Archaebacteria because Archaebacteria aren't bacteria (Option A is correct).

  • Archaebacteria belong to the Archaea domain.

The interaction between DNA and histone proteins (forming nucleosomes) plays a key role in the regulation of gene expression in
ladessa [460]

Answer:

A. The chromatin near cis-regulatory sequences will be more closed and there will be less transcription.

Explanation:

In the presence of histones, the cis-regulatory sequences of DNA like promoter, enhancers etc. are not exposed. The function of the histone acetyltransferases (HATS) is to cause chromosome decondensation i.e. removal of histones from the DNA so that transcription of the DNA could occur. Histone acetyltransferases (HATS) cause acetylation of lysine amino acid of the histone proteins. Acetyl group is negatively charged so the acetylation of histone proteins leads to the removal of their positive charge which ultimately leads to the decrease in the interaction between N terminal of histones and negatively charged phosphate group of the DNA molecule. As soon as histones are removed from the DNA where cis-regulatory sequences are located, the DNA becomes accessible for transcription.

But here a drug has been added which blocks the activity of histone acetyltransferases (HATS) in cancer cells. So it is quite evident that in these cells, histones will not get removed from the cis-regulatory sequences of DNA so the DNA will be more closer or tightly packed as a result of which  less transcription will occur.

Scientists have discovered and identified only a fraction of the species living and extinct. True or False?
insens350 [35]

Science

This is true because humans can only know so much due to unexplored lands, water depth, and evidence of extinction being hidden.
