Does lipid contain carbon?
Both carbohydrates and lipids contain a carboxyl group. They differ in that carbohydrates are formed between a carboxyl and an aldehyde group whereas a lipid is formed between a carboxyl and a hydroxyl group. Amino acids also contain a carboxyl group, though it forms a peptide bond with an amino group.
Why are membrane proteins are not very soluble in water?
Hydrophobic amino acids on lipid bi-layer
Is polypeptide chain a carbohydrate protein or lipid?
A polypeptide chain is a chain of amino acids, which make up proteins
Macromolecule made mainly from carbon and hydrogen atoms?
lipid
Which biomolecules found in living things contain phosphorus?
Nucleic acids: DNA and RNA.

The 20 amino acids vary only in their?
lipid groups
How does the absorption of fatty acids and glycerol differ from the absorption of amino acids and simple sugars?
Once the lipid undergoes lipid digestion it can undergo simple diffusion across the plasma membrane. Glucose and amino acids require transport via a carrier molecule.
Are amino acids a derivative of cholesterol?
No. Cholesterol is a lipid and is a precursor to vitamin D and steroid hormones.
Why are membrane proteins are not very soluble in water?
Hydrophobic amino acids on lipid bi-layer
Is Oligopeptide a carbohydrate protein or lipid?
It is a short chain of amino acids. Theoretically, a protein is a much longer chain of amino acids that can be composed of more than one polypeptide chain.
What is a polysaturated lipid?
A lipid's fatty acids contain more than one (1) double bond of carbon.
What makes protein lipid and carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are made of monosaccharides, lipids are made of glycerol and fatty acids, and proteins are made of amino acids.
Amino acids are classified as what and what?
Of the 20 amino acids, 10 must be taken in from an outside source; these are called nonessential amino acids.============================================================Actually its the other way round, amino acids that the human body can't manufacture are called essential amino acids. Non-essential amino acids are able to be produced by the body. Of the 20 amino acids that our bodies use, the adult body is able to manufacture 12For more information, check the link below
Is a amino acid a protein or lipid?
First off, it should be asked "Are lipids or proteins in an amino acid?". And the answer is proteins, because proteins are monomers ("building blocks") of amino acids.
Which pair is unrelated to each other sugar- carbohydrates fat-lipid amino acid-protein starch-nucleic acid?
amino acids -proteins
Why do proteins remain embedded in the lipid bilayer?
The protein's amino acids that are within the lipid bilayer generally have lipophilic side chains. They form a helix with the side chains facing out, so the lipids within the bilayer attract and stabilize this arrangement of the protein, keeping it in the lipid bilayer
