Explain why proteins are considered polymers but lipids are not

Biology
1 answer:
hammer [34]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Polymers are made from a chain of one similar subunit bound together in sequence. Proteins are made from polypepetide chains which are sequences of amino acid subunits. Another example of polymer is DNA and RNA made of nucleic acid subunits.

However, lipids do not have one similar subunit but rather variable ways in which the lipid chains can form. For example phospholipid unit is made of a phosphate molecule bound to a fatty acid chain and glycerol. A triglyceride is a subunit of glycerol bound to three fatty acids chains. Cholesterol is also considered a lipid but is made of carbon rings rather than chains. Lipids therefore cannot be referred to as a polymer.

Geosphere is a part of the earth that included the earth's interior, landform, rocks, and mineral. There are lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and, anthroposphere.

on the answer choice, the ocean wave is the example of the oceanic condition which has changed in movement. and the beach is an example of the lithosphere.

Two principal approaches governing the study of animal behavior​
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Ecological and ethological approaches to the study of behaviour. The natural history approach of Darwin and his predecessors gradually evolved into the twin sciences of animal ecology, the study of the interactions between an animal and its environment, and ethology, the biological study of animal behaviour.

nalin [4]

Answer:

c. Would have deviated from the 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio

Explanation:

<em>If two genes are linked together on the same chromosome, the phenotype of the F2 generation would have deviated from 9:3:3:1.</em>

Two genes whose loci are close on the same chromosome are said to be linked. Linked genes have higher frequency of recombination than genes that are not linked.

<u>Hence, while genes that are not linked assort independently to produce 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio at F2, linked genes do not assort independently and the higher frequency of recombination ensures that they standard phenotypic ratio is deviated from.</u>

The correct option is c.
