Answer:

Proteins (polymers of amino acids)

Carbohydrates (polymers of sugars)

Lipids (polymers of lipid monomers)

Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA; polymers of nucleotides)

Explanation:

Proteins:

Chemical formula is CHON

−NH2 + −COOH +R group

Monomer is Amino acids.

Examples are enzymes, and some hormones.

Uses are Storage; Signals; Structural; Contractile; Defensive; Enzyme; Transport; Receptors.

Lipids:

Chemical formula is C:H:O

Greater than 2:1 H:O (carboxyl group)

Monomer is fatty acid and glycerol.

Examples are butter, oil, cholesterol, beeswax.

Functions are energy storage; Protection; Chemical messengers; Repel water.

Carbohydrates:

Chemical formula is C:H:O

1:2:1

Monomer is monosaccharides.

Examples are Glucose, Fructose, Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose.

Uses are energy storage; structure.

Nucleic Acids:

Chemical formula is CHONP

(pentose, nitrogenous base, phosphate ).

Monomer is nucleotides.

Examples are DNA, RNA.

Uses are Genetic information

The protostome developmental sequence arose just once in evolutionary history, resulting in two main subgroups—Lophotrochozoa an
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

<h2>c. Division of these two groups occurred after the protostome developmental sequence appeared. </h2>

Explanation:

  • Protosomes are such types of organisms in which the mouth part developed first during embryonic development.
  • Those animals in which anus develop first are known as deuterostomes.
  •  This differentiation takes place during the embryonic development of the organisms.
  • Since lophotrochozoan and Ecdysozoa both are protostomes animals and categorized on the basis of molecular evidence.
  • Thus these two groups were formed after the appearance of the protostomes.
