Biology

RSB [31]2 years ago
5 0

Biopolymers are natural polymers produced by the cells of living organisms. Biopolymers consist of monomeric units that are covalently bonded to form larger molecules. There are three main classes of biopolymers, classified according to the monomers used and the structure of the biopolymer formed: polynucleotides, polypeptides, and polysaccharides. Polynucleotides, such as RNA and DNA, are long polymers composed of 13 or more nucleotide monomers. Polypeptides and proteins, are polymers of amino acids and some major examples include collagen, actin, and fibrin. Polysaccharides are linear or branched polymeric carbohydrates and examples include starch, cellulose and alginate. Other examples of biopolymers include natural rubbers (polymers of isoprene), suberin and lignin (complex polyphenolic polymers), cutin and cutan (complex polymers of long-chain fatty acids) and melanin.

What is a good description for the cell wall?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

The cell wall is the protective, semi-permeable outer layer of a plant cell. A major function of the cell wall is to give the cell strength and structure, and to filter molecules that pass in and out of the cell. A cell is the smallest part of an organism that still contains that organism's elements.

Answer:

Multicellular

Explanation:

Unicellular, as the prefix "uni" implies, only have ONE cell. Unicellular organisms can include bacteria, yeast, protists, etc. Multicellular organisms have many cells and are any plant or animal, as they are much larger and complex than unicellular organisms.

As for the second question, the frilled lizard is a perfect example of the ways that organs work together to form necessary organ systems. In the instance of the heart, there are cardiac muscle cells that branch and connect to each other to form cardiac muscle tissue, which has special junctions that cause the cells to contract together and in turn keep the heart pumping and the circulatory system moving.

Does this make sense? Feel free to comment any other questions!! If this explanation helped you, please consider leaving me a good review and/or brainliest!! <3
