Explain what distinguishes lipids from other major classes of macromolecules?
Lipids are not soluble in water. improved..>> macromolecules have smaller subunits eg. protein-amino acid, carboyhdrate monosacharide, nucleic acid-nucleotide. unlike all the above examples lipids subunits are fatty acids which do not form covalent bonds with one another, rather they 'aggregrate' together.
Explain why proteins are considered polymers but lipids are not?
Proteins are made of amino acid chains. The repitition closely resembles the repeating unit, the monomer, from polymers. Lipids are made of trigyclerides and fatty acids, much smaller molecules than the protein, which is a macromolecule.
How do proteins differ from lipids and carbohydrates?
The difference between Carbohydrates (sugars) and Lipids: 1) sugars disolve in water lipids don't 2) sugars are made-up of subunits that form large polymers and lipids are not and don't form polymers. 3)Lipids store more energy than sugars. 4) sugars form stuctural components (cellulose in plants) and lipids form bountaries like the cell membrane due to hydrophobic hydrocarbons.
What four types of organic molecules found in living things?
The four main categories of organic compounds in organisms are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
What excretory product are eliminated through the seed of groundnuts?
LatexM
Subunits of lipids are?
fatty acids and glyceroids
What are subunits in lipids?
fatty acids and phospholipids!!!
Subunits of lipids?
triglycerides, phospholipids, waxes, and steroids
Subunits that make up lipids?
fatty acids and steroids
What are the sub-units of lipids?
The subunits of lipids are fats, oils, waxes, sterols and triglycerides.
What are subunits of Lipids?
Lipids are a group of hydrophobic chemical structures comprised of fats, oils, steroids, phospholipids, and waxes. The basic subunits of most of these are fatty acids, which have a hydrocarbon backbone and a carboxyl group at one end.
What are the fundamental subunits of lipids?
i tried to say ".. is strictly y0 m@m@" but it wouldn't let me sorry i had to XD
What do proteins and carbohydrate and lipids have in common?
They are all formed from the same elements. They are part of the cell membrane (phospholipids not just lipids). polymers of smaller subunits, i believe.
