Are carbon atoms also called micromolecules?
No, but carbon is a part of nearly all macromolecules.
What are the organic macromolecules that contain nitrogen?
Proteins and nucleic acids are organic macromolecules that contain nitrogen.
What describes some aspect of metabolism a. synthesis of macromolecules. b. contol of enzyme activity. c. breakdown of macromolecules d. Aand B only e. AB and C?
synthesis of macromolecules
Differences between small molecules and macromolecules?
Poly=many, meros=parts A macromolecule is defined as a molecule which consists of around(it's arbitrary) 1000 atoms. A polymer is a molecule (yes! only 1 molecule!) which is synthesized(polymerized) by the joining of the smaller units of the polymer, called the monomer. A polymer is thus a macromolecule because it is obviously going to be large due to smaller units joining onto each other repeatedly. But that does not necessarily mean a macromolecule is a polymer. A fat, for example, is a synthesized by the condensation reaction of only 4 molecules- glycerol and 3 fatty acids. It is big, but does not consist of repeating smaller units.
What is the name for large molecules made up of smaller molecules?
The general term for very large molecules is "macromolecules". There are special terms for different specific types of macromolecules, like "polymers" or "proteins", and most people studying them specialize in one or another specific type.
What kind of macromolecules are built from carbon atoms that living organisms obtain from the carbon cycle?
All of them since they are organic. Lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids are considered to be the 4 groups of biological macromolecules.
What are molecules containing carbon atoms called?
They are called macromolecules.
Which macromolecules have only atoms of c h and o?
The macromolecules that are composed primarily of C, H, and O are lipids and carbohydrates.
Are all macromolecules formed from same elements?
No, but most macromolecules are organic molecules (with a backbone made of carbon atoms). But it is possible to synthetically create macromolecules with a backbone made of silicon atoms (i.e. the silicones), boron atoms (i.e. the boranes), and a few others. The atoms attached to the backbone or forming side branches extending away from the backbone can be any element on the periodic table.
What type of chemical bond do you think would work best for building macromolecules?
Macromolecules are built by means of covalent bonds.
What is the term for a very large molecule composed of hundreds or thousands of atoms?
macromolecules
Large molecules containing carbon atoms are called mircomolecules?
They are called macromolecules.
What is the processing called by which macromolecules are formed?
Macromolecules are formed by a process known as polymerization, in which large compounds are built by joining smaller ones together.
What is the process called which macromolecules are called?
Macromolecules are formed by a process known as polymerization, in which large compounds are built by joining smaller ones together.
What is a macromolecule in organic Chemistry?
the combinations of millions of carbon atoms gives rise to macromolecules.
Are carbon atoms also called micromolecules?
No, but carbon is a part of nearly all macromolecules.
All substance are built from what?
All Substances are built from Atoms
