What is the function of a monomeric protein in cellular processes?
A monomeric protein plays a key role in cellular processes by carrying out specific functions such as catalyzing chemical reactions, transporting molecules, and regulating gene expression.
Why glucose can not be stored in monomeric form?
Glucose is a simple sugar that can be stored in the body as glycogen, a polysaccharide made up of multiple glucose molecules. Storing glucose in its monomeric form would not be efficient due to its high solubility and osmotic effect in cells. Converting glucose into glycogen allows for more stable and compact storage in the liver and muscles.
Why is it necessary for polysaccharides to be digested outside of the cell?
Polysaccharides are very large and therefore would require a lot of energy in order to transport across a cell wall. So cells will secrete exoenzymes to break the polysaccharides into smaller, monomeric portions and then absorb the monomeric portions in order to save energy.
What makes up nucleotide?
A nucleotide consists of three main components: a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (such as deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, cytosine, guanine, or thymine in DNA; adenine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil in RNA). These components join together to form the basic building blocks of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA.
The functional group ALWAYS found in the following pair of monomeric organic molecules fatty acids and amino acids?
Carboxyl group (-COOH) is the functional group always found in both fatty acids and amino acids. Amino acids have an additional amino group (-NH2) as well.
What are building monomeric units of proteins?
The monomeric units are called amino acids, connected by polypeptide bonds.
What is the monomeric form of a carbohydrate called?
Monosaccharides
What are monomeric enzymes?
those enzymes which contain only one polypeptide chain in which the active site resides are known as monomeric enzyme .the grop has relatively small number of hydolytic enzymes which take part in digestion. most monomeric enzymes are synthesized as inactive molecules known as zymogen granules which become activated under different agents.
Proteins are polymers of the monomeric molecules called?
Amino acids.
What is the monomeric unit for nucleic acids?
It would be a nucleotide. Either thymine, cytosine, alanine, guanine, or uracil.
What is the function of a monomeric protein in cellular processes?
A monomeric protein plays a key role in cellular processes by carrying out specific functions such as catalyzing chemical reactions, transporting molecules, and regulating gene expression.
What reaction links monomeric units together to form long chains?
polymerization
Can a thermosetting plastic change shape?
No because of cross linking of monomeric chains. On heating it chars.
What does a double helix comprised of?
double helix are made up of some monomeric compound like, nitrogenous compound of purine and pyrimidine, sugar and phosphate in case of DNA. In case of Protein alpha helix, which is also a double helical structure is made up of monomeric amino acids.
Why is it necessary for polysaccharides to be digested outside the cell?
Polysaccharides are very large and therefore would require a lot of energy in order to transport across a cell wall. So cells will secrete exoenzymes to break the polysaccharides into smaller, monomeric portions and then absorb the monomeric portions in order to save energy.
When glucose the monomeric subunit found in glycogen is required for energy glycogen is broken down through a process known as?
hydrolysis
What are hydrocarbons that have been chemically changed into familiar plastic and rubber?
Polymers. They form long chains of a repeating monomeric unit (the hydrocarbon).
