Describe difference between dehydration reaction and hydrolysis. How do these reactions relate to macromolecules?

Biology
1 answer:
NemiM [27]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Dehydration reaction includes removal of water molecule from compounds to facilitate formation of bonds between them while hydrolysis reactions break the compounds by breaking the bonds.

Dehydration reactions form the complex macromolecules while hydrolysis reactions break them down into the simpler elements.

Explanation:

During dehydration reactions, removal of a water molecule from two compounds leads to the formation of a covalent bond between them. These reactions are mainly part of anabolic pathways. Two amino acids are joined together by peptide bond and a water molecule is released during the reaction.

Hydrolysis reactions are the opposite of dehydration reactions and are involved in catabolic pathways of macromolecules. The peptide bonds between amino acids are broken down by hydrolysis.

Nitrogen fixation is A. the conversion of gaseous nitrogen into an organism friendly form (ammonia (NH3). B. preplanned setting
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "the conversion of gaseous nitrogen into an organism friendly form (ammonia (NH3)".

Explanation:

Nitrogen fixation is a biological process at which gaseous nitrogen is converted into an organism friendly form (ammonia (NH3). Nitrogen fixation is performed in nature by microorganisms in the soil. Some of these microorganisms have a symbiotic relationship with plants. These microorganisms convert the gaseous nitrogen into ammonia, which is used by the plant as a source of nitrogen.

Name to types of evidence that scientist used to support the theory of evolution?
Sergio [31]
Evidence of evolution. Scientists support the evidence of evolution because of the adaptations organisms used to have in the past compared to the present. For example, humans have organs in their bodies they don't need, but must have been used in ancient times. They can also find that humans have a common ancestor such as monkeys because of the DNA similarities and many adaptations. Hopefully this answered most of your question.
