Is a diamond a polymer?
polymer
What is a special polymer?
It is a polymer which has special properties such as a memory shape polymer.
Is lipid a polymer?
A lipid is both a polymer and monomer. Polymer: Triglyceride Monomers: glycerol and fatty acids
Is sunflower a reaction or a polymer?
polymer
Are phospholipids a polymer?
A phospholipid is not a polymer.
What type of compound insulin is?
Insulin is a protein
What kind of compound is insulin?
polymer
What monomer units is insulin composed of?
Generally it is considered that Inulin is the polymer of fructose. Beta 1,2 linked. Hence it is not digested in pur body. It if often considered as heteropolymer because it contains two types of stereo isomers of fructose.
Which two hormones exerts opposite effects?
Insulin and glucagon. Insulin stores simple sugars in the form of a polymer (glycogen) in the liver and glucagon breaks down glycogen in the liver forming glucose and releases it back into the bloodstream. ChaCha!
Is liver insulin sensitive?
Normal human livers are highly sensitive to insulin. Hepatocytes, or liver cells, have numerous insulin receptors on their surfaces which bind to insulin and then trigger glycogen synthesis, soaking up free glucose in the bloodstream and forming long polymer chains for later use as fuel. Studies have shown, however, that diabetic individuals have decreased sensitivity to insulin not only generally but also specifically in the liver, due partly to a decrease in the number of insulin receptors.
A polypeptide can best be described as?
Short sequence of amino acids. Insulin is a polypeptide of about 53 [amino-acid] residues; it is like Pluto - is it a protein or not?
