What are large molecules made up of small monomers called?

Biology
1 answer:
Elodia [21]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The large molecules made up of small monomers are called macromolecules.

Explanation:

In biochemistry macromolecules are the complex molecules that are formed by the polymerization of simple monmeric subunits.

For example

   Polysaccharides are formed by the joining monosaccharides by glycosidic linkages.

  Protein or polypeptides are formed by the joining of amino acids by peptide bonds.

  Lipids are composed of fatty acid  monomers

  Nucleic acid such as DNA and RNA are formed by the joined of their monomeric subunits a;so called nucleotides by phosphodiester linkage.

How does the structure of the alveoli allow for its function of gas exchange?
Arisa [49]
Gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in the alveoli . Oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses through the walls of the alveoli and adjacent capillaries into the red blood cells . The oxygen is then carried by the blood to the body tissues . They are surrounded by numerous capillaries

When a cell is not actively dividing it is in what phase
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Interphase

Explanation:

When a cell inst actively dividing, it is in a stage called interphase which is where a cell spends the majority of its time. During interphase, cells need to replicate their DNA so they have DNA to divide during mitosis.

All of the following are transmembrane pumps that facilitate active transport except?
BigorU [14]

Answer:

b) Channel pumps

Explanation:

The channels are the transmembrane proteins that serve in the passive transport of substances down the concentration gradient. The channels can be gated or non-gated. The gated channels are opened and closed in response to certain stimuli such as electrical change.

For example, aquaporins are the gated water channels that transport the water across the plasma membrane. The process is driven by the osmotic gradient and does not use the energy of ATP.

Which disappears more rapidly from a population, a deleterious dominant allele or a deleterious recessive allele?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Selection is a directional process that leads to an increase or a decrease in the frequency of genes or genotypes. Selection is the process that increases the frequencies of plant resistance alleles in natural ecosystems through coevolution, and it is the process that increases the frequencies of virulence alleles in agricultural ecosystems during boom and bust cycles.

Selection occurs in response to a specific environmental factor. It is a central topic of population and evolutionary biology. The consequence of natural selection on the genetic structure and evolution of organisms is complicated. Natural selection can decrease the genetic variation in populations of organisms by selecting for or against a specific gene or gene combination (leading to directional selection). It can increase the genetic variation in populations by selecting for or against several genes or gene combinations (leading to disruptive selection or balancing selection). Natural selection might lead to speciation through the accumulation of adaptive genetic differences among reproductively isolated populations. Selection can also prevent speciation by homogenizing the population genetic structure across all locations.

Selection in plant pathology is mainly considered in the framework of gene-for-gene coevolution. Plant pathologists often think in terms of Van der Plank and his concept of "stabilizing selection" that would operate against pathogen strains with unnecessary virulence. As we will see shortly, Van der Plank used the wrong term, as he was actually referring to directional selection against unneeded virulence alleles.
