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 examples of lipids?
Well, you have Lipids that do stuff and some that do some other stuff and some that if made out of stuff. :(
Is the cell membrane made up of lipids proteins and nucleic acid?
yes membrane made up of lipids,proteins, nucleic acid,
Compare the structures and functions of the biomolecules lipids and starches?
Lipids are composed of glycerol and fatty acids. Starches are composed of monosaccharides. In lipids you find less number of oxygen than in carbohydrates. Therefore, lipids give you twice as much energy as carbohydrate. Lipids constitute the bilayer, which is not the case with starch.
How are Atoms and Molecules and Cells similar?
Cells are made of molecules, molecules are made of atoms, and atoms are made of energy. :) Hope I helped!!
What kinds of atoms are lipids mostly made of?
Carbon and Hydrogen
What kinds of atoms are lipidsmostly made of?
Carbon and hydrogen atoms mostly make up lipids.
What kinds of elements are lipids mostly made up of?
masses
Which atoms form lipids?
No atoms are composed of lipids (atoms are made from electrons, protons and neutrons). Lipids are however composed of atoms. A lipid is a compound, a molecule made up of atoms of Oxygen, Carbon and Hydrogen. Lipids are "fats".
What are made mostly from carbon and hydrogen atoms?
Lipids (wax, fats and oils)
What three atoms made up lipids?
Lipids are made of carbon and hydrogen with a little oxygen.
What are the two elements lipids are made mostly of?
Lipids are mostly composed of carbon and hydrogen
What kind of acids are lipids mostly made up of?
fatty
What are carbon and oxygen atoms made up of?
These atoms are made of mostly molecules
Lipids are made up of?
a lipid is made of marcromolucule made mainly from cabon andchydrogen atoms; includes fats, oils, and waxes.
How many atoms have scientists made?
21 different kinds of atoms
What does molecule make up?
Solids, liquids, gases - all matter - are made up of atoms (or other things, like molecules, that are made from atoms)! ELEMENTS are the kinds of atoms that we can have. Carbon is an element, hydrogen is an element, and so is oxygen.
