Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are the four major types of biomolecules that form all living things. These biomolecules consists of monomers linked together by covalent bonds to form polymers.

  • Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids can be classified according to their basic elements, monomer constituents, and functions.

Basic elements:

  1. Nucleic acids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Phosphorous (P)
  2. Proteins: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Sulfur (Z)
  3. Carbohydrates: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O)
  4. Lipids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Phosphorous (P)

Monomer constituents:

  1. Nucleic acids: nucleotides
  2. Proteins: amino acids
  3. Carbohydrates: monosaccharides
  4. Lipids: fatty acids and glycerol

Functions:

  1. Nucleic acids: contains the hereditary information to synthesize proteins
  2. Proteins: regulate metabolic processes (enzymes), the main biomolecule of cellular structures
  3. Carbohydrates: store energy (short term); form cellular structures
  4. Lipids: store energy (long term); the main component of biological membranes

Examples:

  1. Nucleic acids: DNA and RNA
  2. Proteins: lactase; collagen
  3. Carbohydrates: starch (polysaccharide); glucose (monosacharide)
  4. Lipids: phospholipids; cholesterol

Multiple Choice New species arise when a. a portion of the population becomes isolated from the remainder of the population and
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

a. a portion of the population becomes isolated from the remainder of the population and experiences different selective pressures

Explanation:

This is an example of allopatric speciation Allopatric speciation is a form of speciation (formation of new species) that occurs as a result of geographic isolation. This means that a part of population becomes physically separated from the initial main population. There is no gene flow between these two populations and as a result the two populations  reach a high level  of genetic divergence. They can no longer interbreed which means they become two different species (speciation).

New populations evolve as result of mutation, genetic drift and natural selection.

For example, Galapagos finches are isolated from others by the ocean (geographic isolation).  Because of the isolation, the finches don’t breed with one another. So, they developed unique characteristics and became endemic.

A property of living and non living things

Hihi!

There are seven characteristics of living things: movement, breathing or respiration, excretion, growth, sensitivity, and reproduction! But sadly as for non-living things they lack most of these things. Their characteristics are that <span>they lack the </span>capability<span> for </span>growth<span>, </span>reproduction, respiration<span>, </span>metabolism<span>, and </span>movement<span>.
