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)

Name the three major internal parts of the plant stem and identify their functions
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The three major internal parts of a stem are the xylem, phloem, and cambium. The xylem and phloem, as mentioned before, are the major components of a plant's vascular system. The cambium is a meristematic tissue, which means that it is a site of cell division and active cell growth.

The gene D controls wing shape in flies and has two alleles: D is wild-type and dominant, and d is recessive and causes flies to
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

10% of progeny would have wild type phenotype

Explanation:

True breeding fly with wild type wings and small eyes: De/De

True breeding fly with downward wings and wild type eyes: dE/dE

Cross between them :  De/De X dE/dE = De/dE ( F1 )

Recombination frequency = 20%

Next cross, De/dE X de/de =

De/de = parental = 40%

dE/de = parental = 40%

DE/de = recombinant = 10%

de/de = recombinant = 10%

The third genotype i.e. one of the recombinant genotypes will have the wild type makeup ( DE/de ) hence 10% of flies would have wild type phenotype.

Which organisms are not examples of an adaptive radiation?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Option B, Mammals and reptiles in the post-dinosaur age.

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation is mechanism through which species evolve very fast from common single ancestors. In simple words two different species are said to have evolved through adaptive radiation when they have descended from a single lineage. This is not the case with mammals and reptiles.  

Generally in adaptive radiation, a species evolve when it faces new environmental challenges due to change of habitat or area. For example mammals have evolved from dinosaurs.  

Hence, option B is correct
