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

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The answer is Cells.

Explanation:

  • The chart is a basic molecular design of multicellular organisms.
  • Atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems are the building blocks of the human body which combine together on the basis of similar function or structure to achieve various body functions.
  • Atoms form chemical bonds with other atoms and form molecules.
  • Molecules combine together to form cells.
  • Cells are the basic functional and structural units of life.
  • Cells that perform similar functions combine together to form tissues.
  • Two or more kinds of tissues that perform similar functions combine to form organs.
  • Organs, in turn, form organ systems such as the respiratory or cardiovascular systems etc.

Difference between viviparous,oviparous and oogenesis
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: What is the difference between oviparous and viviparous?

Oviparous and viviparous are such two methods. The main difference between oviparous and viviparous animals is that oviparous animals do not undergo any embryonic development inside the mother whereas viviparous animals develop into a young animal inside the mother. This means oviparous animals lay eggs.
