macronutrients -katty
Macromolecules are very large molecules. The term is used for the four biopolymers nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. It is also used to describe non-polymeric molecules - such as macrocycles.
no, proteins are not. the answer would be lipids (otherwise known as fats and oils)
Carbohydrates and proteins are digested in the stomach. Carbs require several enzymes to be digested, such as the enzyme salivary amylase (secreted in the mouth); digestion ultimately occurs at the level of the stomach. Proteins are also digested in the stomach, but require a general class of enzymes called proteases in order to be digested. Lipids are digested in the duodenum, the first portion of the small intestine. The secretion of lipase enzymes is necessary to complete this task.
No, polypeptides are not lipids. Polypeptides are large molecules also called proteins; lipids tend to be relatively small molecules with an "ionic" end and a "greasy" end.
The Golgi Body (also called the Golgi Apparatus) packages and ships cell products. They can be proteins as well as lipids.
The carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and also nucleic acid are all organic compounds that are the building blocks of life and are necessary to form an organism.
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.
First of all, lypids are supposed to be lipids. Lipids, phospholipids, make up the membrane. Proteins, also work for the cell. Proteins do ALOT of jobs. There are hundreds and hundreds of different types of proteins. Enzymes protect the cell and so on.
They are vegetables and therefore are carbs. But if they are fried in butter or oil they will have some lipids also.
Lipids are what makes up the cell membrane, together with proteins, and also it serves as short-term energy. Remember that lipids are things like fats.
Lipids are also known as fats.
Glucose is a simple sugar, also known as a monosaccharide. It is a carbohydrate.
