While both carbohydrates and lipids are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen there are several differences:
1. Carbohydrates are chains of 2 or more carbon atoms. These can be very lengthy (like long cellulose chains of glucose units). They have many polar OH groups (e.g. glucose - C6H6O6). Most carbohydrates are hydrophilic and are soluble in water because of their polar OH groups. They are not necessarily sugars nor are they necessarily sweet. They are also important components of DNA, RNA and ATP.
2. Lipids are more diverse in their chemistry. They generally have a polar region at one end (this end attracts water) and a large non polar hydrocarbon region that repels water. Lipids don't dissolve in water and instead clump together with their hydrocarbon regions on the interior. Lipids include oils, fatty acids, waxes, steroids and hormones.
Answer:
<h2>
Codon
</h2>
Explanation:
The sequence of DNA is transcribed into mRNA, containing the sequence for protein synthesis, protein is synthesized according to the codons in mRNA. This sequence of nucleotide on DNA/ RNA is divided into a series of three nucleotide units, and one unit of three nucleotide is known as codons.
There are overall 64 codons, 61 codons out of 64 codons, codes for overall 20 amino acids, and the remaining three are stop codons.
These there codon do not code for any amino acid.
And these 61 codons, they code for total 20 amino acids. So one amino acid can be coded by one or more than one codons.
In terms of function, bird wings are used to flap transversely, whereas butterfly wings are used to flap laterally. In terms of structure, bird wings are filled with hollow bones for easier flight, whereas butterfly wings are structured by scales and tiny hairs.
