Describe how the structures of proteins differ from the structures of carbohydrates

Biology
1 answer:
Masteriza [31]3 years ago
5 0

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.

densk [106]

Answer:

A HeLa cell is a type of immortal cell (instead of dying, cells multiply) used in scientific research. This is the oldest and most widely used human cell line. Being the first immortal cell line successfully cultivated in the laboratory.

Thus, this cell line was derived for use in cancer research. These cells proliferate abnormally quickly, even in comparison to other cancer cells. Like many other cancer cells, HeLa cells have an active version of telomerase during cell division, which prevents the incremental shortening of telomeres that implies cell aging and death. In this way, cells bypass the Hayflick boundary, which is the limited number of cell divisions, that most normal cells can become later, before submitting to senescent.
