Answer: The Ptolemaic model differs from other proposed solar system models because the planets have epicycles.

Explanation: Ptolemaic model believed that the earth is at the centre with the moon, sun, stars and other planets rotating or revolving around the earth. This model assumed that the planet moved in a circle. Thus, it is a model of the structure of the solar system.

Epicycles are orbits rotating on another circular orbit.

The Ptolemaic model of the solar system was geocentric, meaning that it was the earth that was at the center of the universe — and everything revolved around it. The main difference between it and other models was that they were heliocentric, where it was the sun at the center of the solar system with the planets revolving around it.

Hope this helps!

Describe how the structures of proteins differ from the structures of carbohydrates
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Both are considered macromolecules. I'll explain below

Explanation:

Proteins are like a huge Lego construction. Each individual piece gets pieced together to make a larger "thing" - Death Star, House, etc. Each individual piece is a monomer, and the larger construction is the polymer. The monomers are Amino Acids and they get pieced together to form the polymer that is called a protein. The linkage that they use is an amide bond, and in biology it is usually called a peptide bond.

Carbohydrates can be singular monomers or polymer units. They are made of completely different compounds - usually aldehydes or ketones. And they link together through different chemical linkages (acetal or ketal linkages for polymers,hemiacetal or hemiketal linkages for monomers).

Both can be large, 3D strucutres - proteins are only functional as a large, 3D structure, while carbohydrates can be singular.
