What else can I help you with?
Glucose is to a starch as a. a steroid is to a lipid b. a nucleotide is to a nucleic acid c. an amino acid is to a protein d. a polypeptide is to an amino acid?
an amino acid is to a protein. ie starch is made of a chain of glucose with side branching. aa's combine to make a protein, to simplify things
Does Secondary active transport reabsorbs glucose and amino acid?
yes
What are the only materials that can enter the cell?
Oxygen, amino acid and glucose.
What is the process by which an amino acid is used to make glucose?
For an amino acid to become glucose, it must enter through the different members of the Kreb's Cycle. The first reaction is to remove the amino group of the amino acid before entering the cycle. There are 5 amino acids that enter through; pyruvate: alanine, cysteine, glycine, serine and threonine alpha ketoglutarate: glutamate, glutamine, arginine, histidine, proline oxaloacetate: aspartic acid and asparagine fumarate: phenylalanine and tyrosine succinyl coA: isoleucine, methionine, valine
What is the function of glucocorticoids?
Glucocorticoids are defined as a class of steroid hormones that bind to the glucocorticoid receptor, which is present in almost every vertebrate animal cell. They enable the body to deal with stress by increasing blood glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid levels and enhancing blood pressure.
What three things are absorbed in small intestine?
Protein, Amino acid, and glucose.
What acids are present in sweat?
The main acids present in sweat are lactic acid and amino acids. Lactic acid is produced when muscles break down glucose for energy during exercise, while amino acids are naturally occurring compounds in the body. These acids contribute to the slightly acidic pH of sweat.
What element is found in amino acid that isn't found in simple sugars like glucose and fructose?
POTASSIUM
Which type of amino acid is present in animals but not in plants?
carnitine is present in animals only
What is example of monomer?
glucose as cellulose is the polymer of glucose
What acid is present acid in watermelon?
The amino acid citrulline was found in watermelon.The nutritious acids folate, niacin, and pantothenic acid are also found in watermelon.
Is Pyruvic acid an amino acid?
No, pyruvic acid is not an amino acid. It is an important molecule in metabolism that is derived from glucose during glycolysis. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and have a different chemical structure compared to pyruvic acid.
