Which organic molecule is correctly paired with an end product of its break down via hydrolysis?
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

protein - amino acid

Explanation:

Proteins are one of the four major biomolecules in nature. Proteins are polymers of monomeric units called AMINO ACIDS. Amino acids are joined together by a type of covalent bond called PEPTIDE BOND to form proteins. Hence, since proteins are made up of amino acids, the hydrolysis of proteins will result in amino acids.

Hydrolysis is the breaking down of a large polymer into its monomeric unit with the release of water (H2O) molecule as a product. The bonds that forms between the respective amino acids are broken, hence, releasing the amino acids.

Schach [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

LHON (Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy): Is a disease that is characterized by loss of vision in young adults.

Sickle cell anemia: Is a disease characterized by production of abnormally shaped red blood cells, that is, not round in shape as normal but are 'sickle' shaped or elongated/crescent shaped.  

Both diseases are heritable But LHON is caused by mutations existing in the mitochondrion thus only inherited maternally.

Sickle cell anemia is caused by mutations in the HBB gene which produces the beta subunit of hemoglobin. It is inherited from recessive genes of both parents.
