What are the characteristics that best define a macromolecules

Biology

Airida [17]4 years ago
8 0

<em>Four main classes that define a macromolecules are</em><em> </em>

  • <em>Protein</em>
  • <em>carbohydrates </em>
  • <em>lipids</em>
  • <em>nucleic acid</em>

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

Macro-molecule is a large molecule which can contain more than 100's and 1000's of atoms. They are different from the smaller molecules and each macro-molecule does more than one function.

Macro-molecules are made up of single elements of monomers joined using covalent bonds and a large polymer is formed. For example, one molecule of polyethylene which is plastic has more than 2500 methylene groups, each one of them has two hydrogen and one carbon atoms.

Why are ecological pyramids shaped as pyramids?
REY [17]
The answer is A
This is because 90% of energy is lost when we go up one trophic level. This means that even the the consumers tend to be larger in size, they are fewer in number and need to eat more in order to sustain themselves.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

DNA ligase

Explanation:

DNA replication is an enzyme mediated, 3-step process during which the DNA molecule produces a copy of itself. The 3 steps involved are as follows;

  • initiation
  • elongation
  • termination

<em>Initiation </em>involves the unwinding of the double helix structure of the DNA using DNA helicase enzyme

<em>Elongation</em> involves binding of RNA primer to the DNA strands and addition of bases to the primer<em> </em>to elongate the new chains. Bases are added to the leading strand continuously while the lagging strand is replicated in short segments (okazaki segments).

<em>Termination</em> involves the unbinding of RNA primer and substitution of its bases by DNA bases. The Okazaki fragments are then joined together using the DNA ligase enzyme.

<em>The short, numerous segments of DNA observed in the mixture is the Okazaki fragments of the lagging strand. This is due to the absence of the enzyme involved in the joining of these fragments.</em>

Hence, the answer is DNA ligase.
