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

Biology
1 answer:
Masteriza [31]3 years ago

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.

Which the most inclusive taxonomic grouping a)order b) species c) genus d) kingdom
zimovet [89]

The correct answer is d) kingdom.

Taxonomy is the branch of biology which deals in categorizing and naming of species. The modern taxonomic classification system consists of the eight taxonomic groups. These are Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. The domain is the most inclusive of the all taxonomic groups and species is the least inclusive.  It is because every different species has a unique features. In this question domain is not in the option, thus Kingdom is the correct answer As it includes different Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

A mutation may be bad and good depending on the particular environmental conditions

Explanation:

For example, the falciform anemia is a hereditary disease caused by a mutation where the ability to transport oxygen of red blood cells is reduced; however, this genetic disorder is widespread in some African populations because it is a condition that confers resistance to falciparum malaria. In consequence, falciform anemia is a detrimental mutation that may also be beneficial in endemic malaria regions.

Moreover, it is important to note that the higher proportion of non-synonymous substitutions are not subject to selection (only a minor percentage are positively selected) because they are generally localized within non-coding regions, thereby having neutral status.
