Answer

Macromolecules in human body

             The macromolecules found in human body are:

1. Carbohydrate,

2. Proteins

3. Lipids, and  

4. Nucleic acids.  

Elements they common share

             All these macromolecules have three elements in common which are:

1. Carbon

2. Hydrogen, and

3. Oxygen.  

                   These elements constitute about 95% of human body.

Difference in Chemical properties

                    Carbohydrate is composed of glucose monomers, which may have aldehyde functional group or ketone functional group. Protein is composed of monomers called amino acids. Each amino acid has carboxylic functional group, amino group, alkyl or aryl group and hydrogen atom. Lipid is composed of fatty acids and glycerol. While nucleic acid is composed of monomer called nucleotide. Each nucleotide is composed of pentose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous group. Due to the presence of different functional groups all these macromolecules have chemical properties different from each one

electrical engineers have created a microchip that can be implemented into the back of the eye. explain​
Natali [406]

<u>Microchip that can be implemented into the back of the eye.</u>

The microchip is implemented to restore the vision of the eye. The chip will receive the visual and also activate the electrodes which in turn will fire the nerve cells, which are used to carry the visual input to the brain. This will help the blind people the can even see things again and this will be implanted in the retina which can then bypass the damaged cells by directly offering visual input to the brain. This will help those who are legally blind after some injury.

Explain why a controlled (scheduled) cell cycle is essential to life
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Control of the cell cycle is necessary for different reasons. When the cell cycle are not regulated, cells could constantly undergo cell division without any form of control which will lead to cancer.

Internal regulation of the cell cycle is necessary to alert the passage of one phase to the next at a set given time. This helps in the overall metabolism of the body.

Why doesn''t the patellar reflex happen when your leg is straight?
irga5000 [103]

The patellar reflex can be defined as the kicking movement of the lower leg which occurs with a sudden twitch when the patellar tendon of a person is tapped. This patellar tendon is present below a person's kneecap. This reflex happens only when the leg is bended. It is impossible for patellar reflex to occur if the leg is straight as the quadriceps muscles are already contracted and a sudden kicking movement of the leg in such state could not be elicited.  The patellar reflex protects the quadriceps  from stretching too much.
