Which of the major types of biological molecules does NOT consist of monomers and polymers?
The major type of biological molecules that does not consist of monomers and polymers are Lipids. Although triglycerides are created by the combination of similar molecules, others, steroids, are not.
Which type of monomers make up lipids?
Carbohydrates: include sugars and their polymers. They include monosaccharides disaccharides, and polysaccharides. The monosaccharide is a monomer, the disaccharide is a polymer,and the polysaccharides are macromolecules. Monosaccharides: The basic formula (CH2O) Examples: triose sugars, 3 carbons, glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone; pentose sugars. 5 carbons. ribose, deoxyribose, and ribulose; hexose sugars, 6 carbons, glucose, galactose, and fructose. Disaccharides: These are double sugars with the formula C12H22O11. Notice that one molecule of water is missing from the formula. The covalent bond holding the two monomers together is called a 1-4 or 1-2 glycoside linkage. Examples: sucrose = glucose + fructose. maltose = glucose + glucose, and lactose = glucose + galactose. Lipids: A group of polymers that have one characteristic in common, they do not mix with water. They are hydrophobic. Some important groups are fats, phospholipids, and steroids. Fats: are large molecules composed of 2 types of monomers, glycerol ( an alcohol containing 3 carbons) and 3 fatty acid molecules. The bond connecting the glycerol and fatty acids in the fat molecule is called an ester bond. Phospholipids: structurally related to fats but contain 2 fatty acids and one molecule of phosphate. These molecules are found making up the plasma membrane of cells. They exhibit a polar and non polar quality. The phosphate group is hydrophilic while the fatty acid area is hydrophobic. Steroids: Lipids characterized by a carbon skeleton of 4 fused rings. Cholesterol is an important steroid found in all animal tissue. Plants do not contain cholesterol. Cholesterol functions in many ways: it is a precursor from which many of the bodies steroids are constructed from. It also adds strength to the plasma membrane in animal cells. Proteins: macromolecules that make up 50% of the dry weight of most cells. They are composed of amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids. Each amino acid has an optical isomer. The left amino acid is the functional one. The D- amino acid only rarely function. Proteins are formed by bonding amino acids together. The bond formed is called a peptide bond.
Steroids belong to which class of biochemicals?
lipids
Class of lipids which includes cholesterol and sex hormones?
steroids... The steroids are a group of lipids with no fatty acids. This group includes cholesterol, Bile Salts, and steroid hormones (which includes sex hormones).
Which hormone-like molecules are NOT produced from arachidonic acid?
steroids
Are hormones proteins or steroids?
Hormones can be proteins or steroids. Insulin and ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) are proteins that are hormones, which are produced in the pancreas and the anterior pituitary gland, respectively. The hormones estrogen and testosterone are two examples of steroids that are hormones produced in the ovaries and testes, respectively.
Is lipid a disaccharide?
No, a disaccharide is not a lipid. Disaccharides are simple sugars, whereas lipids are usually waxes, cholesterol, fats, or steroids.
What is made up of amines proteins and steroids?
sam kents mum
Are amino acids steroids?
No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, while steroids form just a portion of the hormone family.
Are powdered proteins safe?
Protien drinks are okay but don't take steroids!
Are steroids made up of protein?
They may be proteins or steroids.Some are amines too
What are lipids make of?
Lipids are composed of monomers called Glycerol and Fatty Acids. The four classes of lipids are triglycerides, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids.
What prepares proteins for export and synthesizes steroids?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum
Rough endoplasmic reticulum is the area in a cell where what is synthesized?
Rough endoplasmic reticula synthesize proteins, while smooth endoplasmic reticula synthesize lipids and steroids, metabolize carbohydrates and steroids, and regulate calcium concentration
Are peripheral steroids part of plasma membrane?
No, they are not. Phospholipids, intergral proteins and glycolipids are however.
What is the organelle that prepares proteins for export and synthesizes steroids?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum, which is studded with ribosomes, prepares the proteins for export.
What kind of molecules are most hormones?
There are several types.Some are proteins,,Some are ammines and some are steroids
