All macromolecules are made mostly of the same six elements. What are those six elements?

Biology
1 answer:
jekas [21]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur.

Explanation:

Macromolecules such as carbohydrates or lipids are made of a selection of these six elements. Carbohydrates are made out of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen--or "CHO" for short. Lipids are made out of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen as well. Proteins are made out of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur (CHONs, the s is lowercase because sulfur does not usually appear in proteins). Nucleic acids are made out of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous (CHONP).

Hope this helps!

For the first question, a unicellular eukaryote with autotrophic features (meaning it can produce its own food) will be from either Domain Bacteria and Domain Eukarya, but since Domain Bacteria is not in the choices, then Domain Eukarya is the answer. Domain Archaea are yes, unicellular organisms, but they are not eukaryotes and they do not possess autotrophic features. Domain Eukarya have photosynthetic protozoans (i.e. Diatoms).

For the second question, in Kingdom Fungi, you chose that fungi can either be unicellular or multicellular, which is true, for instance yeast and mushrooms respectively. Fungi are heterotrophic as they cannot produce their own food. The other answer is that fungi are eukaryotic organisms since their cells have a true nucleus and they belong to Domain Eukarya.

For the third question, in Kingdom Protista, you chose that protists can either be unicellular or multicellular, and this is true in the case of amoebas and kelp respectively. Protists can be both heterotrophic and autotrophic. The other answer is that protists are eukaryotic organisms since their cells have a true nucleus and they belong to Domain Eukarya.

Which reproductive isolating mechanism is most likely responsible for the divergence of bonobos and chimpanzees?
olga nikolaevna [1]
The reproductive isolating mechanism most likely responsible for the divergence of bonobos and chimpanzees is ECOLOGICAL ISOLATION.
The ecological mechanism of reproductive isolation is also known as TEMPORAL ISOLATION or HABITAT ISOLATION. This includes the barrier for reproduction that leads to isolation such as different habitats or any physical barriers.

Why does our heart need two parts that are completely separate from one another?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

the heart is separated into two sides so that it can carry out its function well. The right heart contains deoxygenated blood and the left heart with oxygenated blood. the two sides are separated from each other so that the blood from the two sides don't get mixed. this leads to effective oxygenation of the deoxygenated blood in the right heart through pulmonary circulation and effective oxygenation of the tissues in the different parts of the body by the oxygenated blood of the left heart through systemic circulation.
