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.

What sequence correctly describes the route that an egg takes through the female reproductive system? (2 points). A.Cervix – fal
Charra [1.4K]
The sequence that correctly describes the route that an egg takes through the female reproductive system would be option d. Ovary - Fallopian tube - Uterus. The mature egg is released by the ovary into the Fallopian Tube. Once it is fertilized, it is embedded in the wall of the uterus and this is where the unborn baby develops. If fertilization does not happen, the endometrium is broken down, which results in menstruation.

Which of these occurs in sexual reproduction but not in asexual reproduction?
Kay [80]

Answer:

First option is the correct one.

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent. A single individual can produce offspring asexually and large numbers of offspring can be produced quickly.
