What bioorganic molecule are enzymes made of?
Enzymes are produced by living cells which catalyse the biochemical reactions.
What molecule contains the information on how to make proteins?
mRNA molecules carries information from a gene to the ribosome.
Are proteins in a cell alive?
protein forms structural components of the cell (Membrane Proteins), Some proteins are bound only to the membrane surface, others have one region buried within the membrane or both sides (transmembrane proteins) of it. Membrane Proteins are classified as: integral (intrinsic) and peripheral (extrinsic)
Is a molecule living or nonliving?
Molecules by themselves are non-living.
What is the name of subunit structure of proteins?
The subunits that make up proteins in most living things are twenty different amino acids. Google amino acid at wiki.
Every living cell contains molecule of?
Of proteins
What molecule is present in all living things and is the focus of organic chemistry?
I believe the answer you are looking for is carbon. While it is not a molecule, Carbon is the focus of organic chemistry and is a major component of living things. The most important molecules in Biology are considered to be proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids and water, but they cannot be considered the focus of organic chemistry.
What bioorganic molecule are enzymes made of?
Enzymes are produced by living cells which catalyse the biochemical reactions.
Are amino acids microorganisms?
An amino acid is just a molecule that is a building block of proteins. They are not living and they aren't microorganisms.
Is a virus considered living?
no because it is only genetic material encased in proteins
Virus is considered living?
no because it is only genetic material encased in proteins
What do DNA RNA ATP do?
ATP is a molecule that stores energy in cells. RNA is used to build specific proteins by cells. DNA is a molecule which codes the instruction for the building of a living organism.
Is sodium chloride an organic molecule found in living organisms?
no it is not... carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids are the four main ones.
Is any living life forms on Jupiter?
No - not that we are aware of. Jupiter is a gas giant, and is not a considered to be candidate for life.
What molecule contains the information on how to make proteins?
mRNA molecules carries information from a gene to the ribosome.
In what way does the shape of a molecule affect how the molecule is involved in living systems?
it determines how the molecule functions
What are four types of molecule's?
There are four types of organic molecules or macromolecules that are found in living organisms. These include proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids.
