The four main categories of large biological molecules?
CARBOHYDRATES, NUCLEIC ACID,LIPIDS, AND PROTEIN
What are large biological molecules put together by?
Most Biological molecules are put together or held together by covalent bonds. Covalent bonds form between two nonmetal elements.
What are four major biomolecules and what are their functions?
1. nucleic acids: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). These molecules carry genetic information or form structures within the cells. 2. Proteins: alcohol dehydrogenase (an enzyme), and actin & myosin (structural proteins). Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions in the body, while some proteins have structural or mechanical functions, such as actin and myosin in muscles. 3. carbohydrates: glycogen (storage of energy) and cartilidge in animals (structural components). 4. lipids: structural components of cell membranes, energy storage sources and intermediates in signaling pathways. Cholesterol, Vitamins A, D, E and K. BKM :)
Where is a macromolecule located in the body?
Macromolecules are large molecules. Macromolecules are found in the proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acid, and lipids in the body. Macromolecules are essential to the structure and function of a cell.
How do proteins differ from lipids and carbohydrates?
The difference between Carbohydrates (sugars) and Lipids: 1) sugars disolve in water lipids don't 2) sugars are made-up of subunits that form large polymers and lipids are not and don't form polymers. 3)Lipids store more energy than sugars. 4) sugars form stuctural components (cellulose in plants) and lipids form bountaries like the cell membrane due to hydrophobic hydrocarbons.
What are lipids of large molecules?
Lipids are fats, or to be technical, they are non-polar organic molecules. They do form large molecules but they do not polymerize.
Large biological molecules known as lipids?
A lipid is a large non polar biological molecule which is not a polymer. Insoluble in water and store energy and make up the cell membranes. So yes you are correct.
What type of bonds do large biological molecules make?
Covalent Bonds form large biological molecules
The large diversity of shapes of biological molecules is possible because of the extensive presence of?
The large diversity of shapes of biological molecules is possible because of carbon.
What the symbol for lipids?
Lipids are are large group of chemicals. There are many symbols for the the various molecules. I can't recall a symbol for the lipids as a group.
Are a large and varied groups of molecules that are usually not soluble in water?
lipids
Is a polypeptide a lipid?
No, polypeptides are not lipids. Polypeptides are large molecules also called proteins; lipids tend to be relatively small molecules with an "ionic" end and a "greasy" end.
What large molecules include carbohydrates lipids proteins and nucleic acids?
Bio-organics
What are the macromolecules and what are they made of?
Macromolucules means large molecules (macro-large) consists of :Carbohydrates(suger),lipids(fat),proteins
The four main categories of large biological molecules?
CARBOHYDRATES, NUCLEIC ACID,LIPIDS, AND PROTEIN
When you ingest large molecules such as lipids carbohydrates and proteins they must undergo catabolic reactions whereby enzymes split these molecules?
chemical digestion
In the model shown above the molecules which move large molecules into and out of the cell are known as?
Lipids The cell membrane itself moves things in and out of the cell
