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.

Maintenance of normal intracellular fluid volume depends largely on the intracellular concentration of _____ ions.
kogti [31]

The answer is D. Extracellular, the main ions involve in osmoregulation in a cell are sodium and chloride. Intra-and extracellular distribution of K+ is influenced, for example, by Na+/K+-ATPase function, pH, Cellular catabolism and anabolism, Insulin and glucose. Parathormone and calcitriol are important in the homeostatic regulation of phosphates.

The pH of a solution containing 0.1 mM H+ is _______ ( 1mM = 10-3M)
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The pH of a solution containing 0.1 mM H+ is 4

Explanation:

The pH of any solution is given by the following mathematical equation -

pH = -log[H_{+}]\\----------- Equation (A)

Where,

H_{+} = the concentration of hydrogen ion in the solution.

Given

H_{+}

= 0.1mM\\=0.1 * 10^{-3}\\= 10^{-4}\\

Substituting the given value in equation (A) , we get -

pH = -log[10^{-4}]

= -(-4)\\= 4

Hence, The pH of a solution containing 0.1 mM H+ is 4
