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

Biology
1 answer:
Veronika [31]3 years ago
7 0

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)

How does the introduction of invasive species such as the brown tree snake upset the stability of the legal system
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Invasive species compete for the same natural resources such as food and water which the native species also need for survival.

Explanation:

Invasive species upset the stability of the ecosystem because the prey in their new environment does not have the needed defense against them. They also upset the food chain, consume so much, and overpopulate in the new territory thus causing the extinction of the native species.

The introduction of brown tree snakes in Guam disrupted the ecological system as their population increased rapidly because their preys in this new environment lacked the ability to defend themselves against the brown tree snakes. For this reason, more than twelve native birds in the Guam Islands went into extinction. They also consumed the natural resources needed for the survival of the native species.
