Answer:

proteins

Explanation:

Macromolecules are molecules that have a large size and are formed through the polymerization of smaller units. Some examples of macromolecules are nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.

Enzymes are molecules that act by catalyzing chemical reactions, this means that these molecules accelerate the rate at which the reaction occurs (but does not affect the balance).

Enzymes are considered to be generally of a protein nature although there are some exceptions (such as ribozymes, which are composed of RNA).

Enzymes act on a substrate that will become a different molecule and be called a product.

How is the way a dog looks at a face similar to the way humans look at faces
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

ever wonder if your dog really really loves you — or if he’s just in it for the kibbles?

Alas, scientists haven’t figured out exactly how our dogs feel about us. But a study published this week in the journal PLOS One has yielded fresh insight into how dogs see us. It adds to existing research showing that — much like humans, other primates and even goats — our canine friends use specific regions of their brain to “process” our faces.

“Our study provides evidence that human faces are truly special for dogs, as it involves particular brain activity,” study co-author Dr. Luis Concha, an associate professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico’s Institute of Neurobiology, told The Huffington Post in an email. “To dogs, the human face is no ordinary thing.”

what molecules will be best used to compare different species with the exact same sequence of amino acids? why would two species
AleksandrR [38]

Ans.

Protein synthesis involves formation of proteins, during which information present in DNA is used to make polypeptide chains. Hence, amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain is determined by the sequence that may differ in different species having proteins with same amino acid sequence.

Thus, the molecules that are used to compare different species with proteins having exact same amino acid sequences are DNA molecules.

Protein synthesis includes two steps, transcription and translation. During transcription, DNA gets converted into RNA by RNA polymerase enzyme, while during translation, RNA provides information to make proteins.

In RNA information is present as triplets of nucleotides, known as codon. Each code codes for a specific amino acid. There are a total of 64 codons, while number of protein-forming amino acids is 20. Hence, one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon and this property of codons is known as degeneracy of codons.

Thus, two species may have the same protein even if their DNA molecules are different because of degeneracy of codons.
