Describe how the structures of proteins differ from the structures of carbohydrates (150 words)

well both are considered macromolecules. proteins are like big lego construction. each single piece gets pieced together to make a larger thing. each single piece is a monomer, and the larger construction is the polymer. the monomers are called amino acids and they get pieced together to form the polymer which is called a protein. the linkage that they use is an amide bond, and in biology it is usually called a peptide bond. carbohydrates can be singular monomers or polymer units. they are made of completely different compounds usually aldehydes or ketones. and they link together through different chemical linkages (acetal or ketal linkages for polymers, hemiacetal or hemiketal linkages for monomers). both can be large, 3D strucutres proteins are only functional as a large, 3D structure, while carbohydrates can be singular. (you might wanna word it differently for safety reason)

Brilliant_brown [7]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows;

The number of bacteria in a certain population is predicted to increase according to a continuous exponential growth model, at a relative rate of 16% per hour. Suppose that a sample culture has an initial population of 71 bacteria. Find the predicted population after three hours Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest tenth bacteria .

Answer:

114.7

Explanation:

A (t) represent the population of the bacteria at the time t.

Since, the population grows exponentially, the population can be calculated as follows:

A (t) = Ao × $e^{kt}$

A (t) is teh final population, Ao is the initial population, e is the exponential, k is rate and t is time.

A (t) = 71 × $e^{0.16\times t}$

For t = 3 hours

A (t) = 71 × $e^{0.16\times 3}$

A (t) = 114.7.

The population of bacteria after 3 hours is 114.7.

The gut of ruminants contains a highly diverse mixture of microbes responsible for digesting a wide variety of complex plant mol

podryga [215]

<h2>Microbes and ruminants relation</h2>

Explanation:

The mixture of microbes allows the host animal to produce a much wider variety of digestive enzymes, far more than the host could encode in their own genome

The microbes in the gut of ruminants include bacteria,fungi and protozoa
These microbes helps the ruminant animals to digest food,without the microbes these animals would die
The microbes break down feed to produce volatile fatty acids, which are used by the cow(ruminant animal) as energy for maintenance and milk production
