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.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Cytokinesis divides the two cells into four daughter cells.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which a single cell is divided into four daughter cells. These daughter cells are haploid i. e. half number of chromosomes. This type of cell division occurs only in sex cells of male and female organisms. There are two phases of meiosis. In meiosis 1, a single cell is divided into two daughter cells while in meiosis 2, these two daughter cells again divided into four daughter cells.

If an enzyme in solution is saturated with substrate, the most effective way to obtain a faster yield of products is to
kompoz [17]

Answer:

a. add more of the enzyme.

Explanation:

Enzymes speed up the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy for the reaction. They are not used themselves in the reaction. They are specific to substrate molecule. Substrate molecule binds to enzyme's active site and they undergo the reaction to form the product and release back the enzyme.

Rate of reaction depends on both substrate and enzyme concentration. Maximum rate of reaction is reached when all the active sites of enzyme molecules have been occupied by the substrate molecules which means that they are saturated. If more substrate is added at this point it wont have any effect on rate of reaction since there are no free active sites. Hence more enzyme is required to be added so that extra substrate can be utilized and rate of reaction can further be increased.
