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)

active transport and facilitated diffusion are two types of cellular transport which statement is true of both
Dovator [93]

Answer:

I believe the correct answer is both involve proteins in the cell membrane.

Explanation:

This is because Facilitated diffusion does not require any energy to transport molecules, while Active transport requires ATP. Facilitated diffusion transports molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration (or down a concentration gradient). Active transport moves molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration (or up a concentration gradient). Answer choice A is the only choice that makes sense.

Hope this helps,

A woman with normal blood clotting ability whose father was a hemophiliac and whose mother was normal with no family history of
Alborosie

Answer:

The answer is 25%.

Explanation:

Hemophilia is a recessive illness that is x-linked.

If the husband has normal clotting ability, that means he has the dominant gene since he has only one X chromosome.

Since there is a probability that their child will have hemophilia, this means that the woman, who has 2 X chromosomes but has normal blood clotting abilities, has one dominant and one recessive hemophilia gene.

The probability that their first child will be a male is 50% and the probability that he will have hemophilia is also 50% since he will only get the Y chromosome from the father and the mother has one dominant and one recessive.

So the probability that their first child will be a son with hemophilia is 25%.

I hope this answer helps.

Why are scientific theories often so powerful?
vodka [1.7K]
Scientific theories are often so powerful because they have been tested several time by different peoples and they have been found to be true. A scientific theory is a well substantiated explanation for a specific phenomenon which has undergone many observations and experiments and has stand the test of time. Thus, scientific theories always have to be reckon with because they have been severally tested.
