How do the four major organic compounds differ?
They differ in some of the elements from which they are made and are:- 1 Carbohydrates 2. Lipids 3. proteins 4. Nucleic Acids
How do proteins differ from fats (lipids) in their chemical composition?
Proteins, carbohydrates and fats (lipids) all have the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in them. However, on top of that, protein ALSO has nitrogen in it, and this is how it differs.
How do carbohydrates proteins and lipids differ in structure and function?
because sum reason
How do fats differ from proteins nucleic acids and polysaccharides?
DNA is considered as the genetic material . I guess it has adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine and proteins are made up of amino acids and the fats contain fatty acids and glycerol
How does the absorption of lipids differ from absorption of carbohydrates and proteins?
Lipids do not dissolve as easily as carbohydrates and proteins. Carbohydrates and proteins are readily absorbed by the digestive system and provide the top sources of energy. The lipids tend to clog up the blood and should be avoided.
How does the structure of proteins differ from the structure of carbohydrates?
Proteins, carbohydrates and fats (lipids) all have the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in them. However, on top of that, protein ALSO has nitrogen in it, and this is how it differs.
How are the organic molecules proteins carbohydrates and lipids different?
they differ in many aspect.... chiefly by their functional groups....
How does absorption of lipids differ from absorption of carbohydrates and proteins?
Lipids do not dissolve as easily as carbohydrates and proteins. Carbohydrates and proteins are readily absorbed by the digestive system and provide the top sources of energy. The lipids tend to clog up the blood and should be avoided.
What do the chemical structures of carbohydrates and fats have in common and how do they differ?
(mostly) composed of C, H and O
How does a virus differ from a toxin?
Viruses differ from toxins both in structure and mode of action. A virus is a complex molecular biological particle containing nucleic acids, several proteins and in many cases lipids; toxins on the other hand, are simple and mostly small molecules (mainly proteins or peptides). Toxins mostly act by blocking, via direct binding, the function of important proteins and enzymes. Viruses act by actively infecting cells.
Does the function of nucleic acids differ from plants to animals?
No! They have similar function
What are the four main classes of organic molecules and how to they differ from one another?
The four classes of organic compounds required by living things are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Starch and cellulose are both polymers built from glucose, but the glucose molecules are arranged differently in each case. Different proteins are made when different sequences of amino acids are linked into long chains. Gram for gram, lipids release twice as much energy in your body as do carbohydrates. The differences among living things depend on the order of nucleotides in their DNA. The order of DNA nucleotides determines a related order in RNA. The order of RNA nucleotides, in turn, determines the sequence of amino acids in proteins made by a living cell.
