What else can I help you with?
Is enzymes monomers or polymers?
Enzymes are a type of protein, which are amino acid polymers.
Are enzymes monomers used to build protein?
No, enzymes are not monomers used to build proteins. Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts to facilitate biochemical reactions in living organisms. Monomers like amino acids are the building blocks used to create proteins, including enzymes.
What are the monomers that make enzymes up?
Enzymes are proteins.Proteins are made up of amino acids
What enzymes found in saliva breaks chemical bonds between the sugar monomers in starches?
AMYLASEIm taking the class right know in e2020!!
How is peptidoglycan a monomer?
Transglycosylase enzymes join these monomers join together to form chains.
What is needed to produce energy from carbohydrates?
To utilize energy from a nutrient, the bonds need to be broken. Polysaccharides cannot be digested until it has been broken down into monomers (monosaccharides). To do this, enzymes need to break the glycosidic linkages between monomers.
The polymers of food are broken down into their constituent monomers by reactions in the digestive tract?
Energy, by cellular respiration. Polymers of glucose, for instance, come into the body via your food and enzymes break them into monomers so they can be easily used in the cellular respiration process.
What monomers do lysosomes produce?
Lysosomes produce various monomers through the breakdown of macromolecules. They contain enzymes that degrade proteins into amino acids, polysaccharides into simple sugars (monosaccharides), and lipids into fatty acids and glycerol. Additionally, nucleic acids are broken down into nucleotides. These monomers can then be reused by the cell for various metabolic processes.
Why is glycogen branched?
Glycogen is branched to allow more efficient energy storage and to provide multiple attachment points for enzymes that add to its glucose monomers.
What essential protein is involved inthe breaking and linking of monomers?
A very critical protein in biology are the ones involved in DNA replication. Polymerases are enzymes, which are proteins that faciliate reactions. Polymerases specifically link ribonucleic acid (as conjugate bases) into DNA and RNA to propagate life.
What turns monomers into polymers?
Monomers are broken up through hydrolysis reactions. This is when the monomers break and are "capped" with a hydrogen or a hydroxyl (if not, then such molecules can do damage to the body). This process is aided by enzymes (proteins) which catalyze the reactions.
What monomer is used to build enzymes?
Enzymes are primarily built from amino acids, which are the monomers that link together to form polypeptide chains. These chains fold into specific three-dimensional structures, allowing enzymes to perform their catalytic functions. There are 20 different amino acids that can be combined in various sequences to create a vast array of enzymes with diverse activities.
