L-form bacteria rely on their cell membrane as their protection from the external environment, determining what can move in and

out of the cell. bacteria with cell walls have additional protection, but need to synthesize the peptidoglycan precursors within the cell and then transport them across the membrane to maintain or expand the cell wall. the peptidoglycan precursors require assistance in moving across the membrane, which is accomplished by a hydrophobic molecule called bactoprenol. why is it important for peptidoglycan precursors to be sufficiently hydrophobic in order to cross the cell membrane?

The cell plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer structure in which the hydrophobic tails of each phospholipid face inwards forming a hydrophobic core. The core restricts movement of hydrophilic substances across the membrane by repelling them. Hence the peptidoglycan precursors must be sufficiently hydrophobic in order to bypass the hydrophobic core of the bilayer and leave the cell to reach the cell wall.

Why do plants need both chloroplasts and mitochondria??
Wewaii [24]
<span>Instead, they have evolved chloroplasts, as a way to generate their own carbohydrates without consuming other organisms, by harnessing solar energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates. ... Mitochondria, on the other hand, efficiently break down macromolecules, such as carbohydrates or lipids, into ATP.</span>

What should i know about proteins?​
katrin [286]

Proteins  are unbranched polymers constructed from 22 standard α-amino acids.

The protein show four levels of structural organisation; the primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure and quaternary structure.

The structure of proteins are stabilized by peptide bonds between the amino acid and hydrogen bond between the peptide chainds.

The primary structure of a protein is determined by the sequence of amino acids, but secondary and tertiary structures of protein define their natural or native conformation.

The solubility of protein varies according to the pH, ionic strength, nature of solvent, temperature etc.

Proteins can be classified as simple proteins or conjugated proteins on the basis of their composition.

The proteins can also be classified as fibrous proteins or globular proteins on the basis of their shape.

Proteins play a major part in body structure and function as most of the molecules like antibodies, immunoglobulins, hemoglobin, myoglobin ,most of the enzymes are proteins.

So proteins are also called building blocks of the body.
