Is polypeptide chain a carbohydrate protein or lipid?
A polypeptide chain is a chain of amino acids, which make up proteins
Is protein a starch?
No. A protein is a chain of amino acids (a polypeptide). Starch is a carbohydrate (a large number of glucose molecules joined together).
Is polypeptide chain a lipid carbohydrate protein or nucleic acid?
Neither, a carbohydrate is a sugar, proteins are amino acids, lipids are fats! Nucleotides are what make DNA and RNA! They are considered a monomer
What kind of macromolecule is cholesterol?
It is a lipid. It is not a protein since it is not a chain of amino acids; it is not a carbohydrate because it doesn't follow the formula CmH2nOn; and it is not a nucleic acid since it is not a chain of nucleotides.
Why there are high percentage of carbohydrates in plant tissues?
plants contain cellulose which is long chain carbohydrate . also plants get carbohydrates by photosynthesis.
What is A membrane protein with a carbohydrate chain?
A membrane protein with a carbohydrate chain is called glycoprotein
What is the name of the carbohydrate attached to phospholipid?
A phospholipid attached to a carbohydrate (sugar) chain is called a Glycolipid. -A protein attached to a carbohydrate is called a Glycoprotein.
Is polypeptide chain a carbohydrate protein or lipid?
A polypeptide chain is a chain of amino acids, which make up proteins
What is a chain consisting of three of more carbohydrate monomers called?
monosaccharides
Why is glucose a complex carbohydrate?

What is the purpose of a carbohydrate chain?
The chain is attached with a marker protein, and together the chain and marker protein help identify the cell to other nearby cells.
What is the structure called?
A phospholipid attached to a carbohydrate (sugar) chain is called a Glycolipid.
Is protein a starch?
No. A protein is a chain of amino acids (a polypeptide). Starch is a carbohydrate (a large number of glucose molecules joined together).
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 kind of energy is stored in starch?
Starch is a form of branched chain carbohydrate found in vegetables.
What type of carbohydrate is found in the cell wall of fungi?
Called chitin. Has a nitrogen filled side chain.
