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.
What is the macromolecule in salt?
No. Salts are not macromolecules since they cannot be broken down into molecules that exist by themselves.Macromolecules include carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. They are respectively chains of saccharides, glycerol+fatty acids, and amino acids.Salt is not a macromolecule but has a large lattice.
Why is Pepsin replaced by Trypsin in the small intestine?
Unlike pepsin, trypsin is secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine, explains Dr. Gary Thibodeau in his book "Anatomy and Physiology." It also breaks the bonds between amino acids, but it focuses on different amino acid bonds. Specifically, trypsin breaks the bonds that follow the amino acids lysine and arginine. Since different proteolytic enzymes can break different bonds, many enzymes have to work together to break a protein down completely.
Protein are broken down by which enzyme?
Someone answer my question! Say 'please' next time. Since you omitted to mention the particular enzyme involved, the best I can do is say that proteins are made of amino acid molecules. When proteins are degraded by enzymes, you get oligopeptides (smaller proteins) or amino acids.
Were proteins present before amino acids?
Since proteins are polymers of amino acids, it's not likely.

Can you consider enzymes as catalysts?
Yes, since enzymes speed up the chemical process that is digestion.
Were proteins present before amino acids?
Since proteins are polymers of amino acids, it's not likely.
What are the minerals needed by the enzymes used in photosynthesis and respiration?
protein is essential since all enzymes are protein
What is an organelle that functions primarily in the synthesis of long chains of amino acids?
Since Amino Acids are also proteins the Ribosomes will synthesise the long chains of amino acids
Does sheamus belong on raw?
Sheamus does belong to raw and he has since some point in october
Why proline gives yellow color with nin hydrin?
Since it's a secondary α-amino acid that doesn't have a free amino group
Suppose that enzyme X catalyzes a reaction that involves the breakdown of a molecule. The product of this reaction is an amino acid. What molecule is the enzyme breaking down?
it might be a protein.. since proteins are polymers of various amino acids..
Plant proteins typically contain less than adequate amounts of?
nonessential amino acids. since there is an adequate amount of amino acids in plants and nonessential amino acids are synthasized in the human body. not to mention dipeptides and polypeptides are bonds of amino acids.
