What three elements do all macromolecules share? Explain how the chemical properties of lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and ami
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer

Macromolecules in human body

             The macromolecules found in human body are:

1. Carbohydrate,

2. Proteins

3. Lipids, and  

4. Nucleic acids.  

Elements they common share

             All these macromolecules have three elements in common which are:

1. Carbon

2. Hydrogen, and

3. Oxygen.  

                   These elements constitute about 95% of human body.

Difference in Chemical properties

                    Carbohydrate is composed of glucose monomers, which may have aldehyde functional group or ketone functional group. Protein is composed of monomers called amino acids. Each amino acid has carboxylic functional group, amino group, alkyl or aryl group and hydrogen atom. Lipid is composed of fatty acids and glycerol. While nucleic acid is composed of monomer called nucleotide. Each nucleotide is composed of pentose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous group. Due to the presence of different functional groups all these macromolecules have chemical properties different from each one

What is electrophoresis? Why does it allow scientists to separate pieces of DNA?
attashe74 [19]
Genetic fingerprinting – the analysis of DNA in order to identify the individual from which the DNA was taken to establish the genetic relatedness of individuals. It is now commonly used in forensic science (for example to identify someone from a blood sample) and to determine whether individuals of endangered species in captivity have been bred or captured from the wild. 
<span>•DNA sequencing – the determination of the precise sequence of nucleotides in a sample of DNA or even a whole genome e.g. the Human Genome Project. </span>

<span>The process of electrophoresis: </span>
<span>DNA is chopped, close to the VNTR regions, into fragments using restriction enzymes. The DNA fragments are placed on the agarose gel and a direct current is applied continuously to the gel. The DNA fragments are attracted to the anode. The shorter the fragment, the faster it moves. </span>
<span>The fragments are transferred onto an absorbent paper placed on top of the gel. The paper is heated to separate the 2 strands in each DNA molecule. Complementary probes which have a radioactive phosphorus isotope are and this pair up with the DNA strands. The paper is placed on an X-ray film and the film goes dark due to radiation emitted by the probes. Now we end up with a pattern of dark stripes on the film matching the positions reached by the fragments in the agarose gel.</span>
