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

Biology
1 answer:
Veronika [31]4 years ago

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)

Why do living organisms need carbon ?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Oxygen helps the body's cells function normally. The cycle of carbon dioxide and oxygen on Earth is dependent on plants and animals. Plants provide the oxygen that animals and other living things need to survive. Animals and other living things provide the carbon dioxide that plants need to make their own food.

suppose you have the monohybrid pea plants in your garden and find that they produce round seed to wrinkled seeds in the ration
Arisa [49]

Answer;

The correct answer would be Rr.

In a monohybrid cross, the phenotype ratio of 3:1 is obtained only when both the parents are heterozygous for the trait.

In this condition, the heterozygous genotype would be Rr. The phenotype of both the parents would be round seeds (R) as the round is a dominant trait.

The cross of these parents would produce offspring with three types of genotypes RR, Rr, and rr in ratio 1:2:1.

Thus, the phenotypic ratio would come out to be 3 (round seed):1 (wrinkled seed).
