What is the subunit structure of nucleic acid?
nuleotides
What substance helps build cell structure?
i don't have a clue
What is the name of the subunit used to build DNA and RNA?
The name of the subunit used to build DNA and RNA is a nucleotide. Unlike DNA, RNA contains uracil. The nucleotide that is found in DNA is deoxyribose plus phosphate group plus cytosine.
Which element is NOT characteristic of the primary structure of proteins?
Phosphorus is not a primary characteristic of protein structure. Proteins do many things within a cell, such as molecule transport and storage.
What is a ribosome and what does it do?
A ribosome is a two subunit complex made of protein and catalytic RNA that unites as one unit when mRNA docks on the large subunit. Ribosomes are the " workbench " on which proteins are synthesized. The ribosome crawls along the mRNA and knits together a polypeptide chain from the free amino acids brought to the ribosome by tRNA.
What is the smallest structure of proteins - amino acids?
In the assembly and construction of proteins, the smallest subunit is the amino acid. Naturally occurring, there are twenty of them [with just a few exceptions].
What is a single subunit in biochemistry?
In Protein biochemistry some proteins are made of more than one unit of the same molecule (or similar molecules) - i.e. Actin and Myosin (muscle proteins). It is said that their tertiary structure is the individual subunit, however they also have a quaternary strucure which is the structure formed when many subunits link up. A single subunit in this case is then a protein that has formed its final, folded tertiary structure but which is not part of a larger strcuture.
The association of four subunit peptides in a fully functional molecule of hemoglobin is a good example of?
The quaternary structure of proteins.
What is proteins subunit?
Amino acids make up proteins.
What do ribosmoes in the eukaryotic cell do?
Same thing they do in all cells they are in; synthesize proteins. The just differ in subunit structure between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
What is the monomer or subunit of carbohydrate structure?
Glucose
What types of structure compose the cuytoskeleton?
Cytoskeletal filaments are made up of actin, intermediate filaments that contain 70 different proteins coupled with microtubules with tubulin as the basic subunit.
What is the subunit structure of nucleic acid?
nuleotides
Which level of protein structure has four subunit peptides?
Quaternary
What are the chemical components of ribosomes are proteins?
A ribosome is a biological molecule made of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins (ribosomal proteins). A ribosome is made of two pieces (subunits). A typical eukaryotic cell ribosome consists of two subunits named 60S (large subunit) and 40S (small). The 60S subunit is made of a 5S RNA (of 120 nucleotides), a 28S RNA (of 4700 nucleotides), a 5.8S subunit (of 160 nucleotides) and around 49 proteins. The 40S subunit, on the contrary, has a 1900 nucleotide (18S) RNA and approximately 33 proteins.
Name the functions of proteins?
important in the structure and metabolism of cells
What is the name of a round structure that makes proteins in cells?
The ribosomes are the site where proteins are synthesized.
