What is a protein molecule made of and how many of these are there?
A protein is a chain of amino acids. Small chains of amino acids are called polypeptides. If the chain is over 20 amino acids long, it is called a protein.
The portion of a DNA molecule that describes a complete polypeptide chain is called a?
A specific stretch of DNA that programs the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide is called a gene.
What long chains of sugar are known as and name three?
a unit of sugar in carbihydrates is called monosaccharides. units of sugar (polymers) is called polysaccharides.
What part of a glucose molecule provides electrons in cellular respiration?
Yes, along something that is called 'the electron chain'.
Why photosynthesizing plants rely on water?
Water plays a huge role in photosynthesis. It releases H+ ions that are used to generate energy that is in the form of ATP.
Plants strore excess sugur as?
Most plants store excess sugars by converting them to starch a long chain like molecule consisting of thousands of glucose molecules.
What is a chain like molecule that helps determine the structure of plants?
DNA
Where are the molecule of the electron transport chain found in plants?
thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts
Explain why soluble starch does not conduct electricity?
Starch is an chain of sugar molecules, and the chain separates to its individual sugars when dissolved. Because sugars are made of C, H, and O, there are no metals and no ionic bonds in the molecule, so it does not conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
What is the difference between polysaccharides and sugars?
Polysaccharides are chains of sugars. Think of sugars as a single link in a bicycle chain and the polysaccahride as the chain.
What is a series of bonded atoms forming part of a molecule or ion called?
Chain
Producer in a food chain?
producers are the first part of the food chain. In a food pyramid, they would be found in the bottom. They are the plants that uses a carbon source to produce energy and sugars.
How do animals and humans obtain energy to keep them live?
The energy that fuels their life all comes from the Sun as sunlight. This is trapped by plants who use it to make sugars. All animals survive by eating plants (and thereby stealing the plants sugars/energy) or each other. This is the basis of what is known as the "food chain".
What is one molecule called that makes up the links in a polymer chain?
a monomer.
Is chlorohpyll an ATP molecule?
no, its a photosynthetic pigment which supports an electron transport chain which eventually leads to the synthesis of ATP in plants
Is a carbohydrate?
A carbohydrate is a molecule composed of carbon (carbo-) and water (-hydrate). There are many types of carbohydrates referred to as sugars, such as sucrose (table sugar) and glucose (bodies' primary energy source). Starch is an example of a polysaccharide, a chain of many monosaccharides, or simple sugars.
What is the structure of sugars?
Simple sugars are monosaccharides , they are either in chain form or in ring form .
