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.

Explain why you need to get a flu shot every year.
GaryK [48]

Answer:

New flu vaccines are released every year to keep up with rapidly adapting flu viruses. When you get vaccinated, your immune system produces antibodies to protect you from the viruses included in the vaccine. But antibody levels may decline over time — another reason to get a flu shot every year.

Matching questions match each description with the appropriate phase of mitosis:
strojnjashka [21]
Hello!!
A: Anaphase — 1 chromatids move towards opposite poles. I always remember that “Ana” moves to different places on the sides of town. This is where the chromatids begin to move.
B: Telophase — 4 Cytokinesis may occur. Cytokinesis is the last and final step. The sister chromatids finish moving towards the poles and then cytokinesis occurs.
C: Metaphase — 3 Chromatids line up in the middle of the cell. I always remember since they line up in the middle, they “met” there.
D: Prophase — 2 and 5 Disintegration of the nuclear membrane and the spindle forms. Both of these have to happen first in order for the rest of the processes to occur.
**The order of mitosis goes prophase, prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis.**
For the bottom:
A: Algae 6 and 10. Both diatoms and kelps (plant related) are a part of the Algae general type.
B: Fungi 7 and 9. Deuteromycetes and Ascomycetes.
C: Protozoa 8. It is ciliates because they are a major group of Protozoa from cilia.
I hope I helped!! Have a great day!! :)
