What else can I help you with?
The polymers of food are broken down into their constituent monomers by reactions in the digestive tract?
Energy, by cellular respiration. Polymers of glucose, for instance, come into the body via your food and enzymes break them into monomers so they can be easily used in the cellular respiration process.
What about the monomers and polymers found in living organisms is false?
Monomers are the smaller molecular units that are used to build polymers in living organisms, such as amino acids forming proteins. Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units of monomers, like DNA made of nucleotide monomers. The statement that monomers and polymers found in living organisms are false is inaccurate; they are essential components of biological molecules.
How are polymers broken-down to monomers?
It certainly depends on what type of polymer you are speaking. For peptide polymers the reaction for monomerization is hydrolysis. This is the addition of water in combination with the cleavage of the peptide bond.
When polymers are broken down into monomers what would your body do with those monomers?
Your body can use the monomers obtained from breaking down polymers as building blocks to create new molecules that the body needs, such as proteins or nucleic acids. Monomers can also be used as an energy source by the body through processes like metabolism.
What monomers make up glycogen?
Glycogen is made up of glucose monomers. These monomers are combine in alpha-1,4 linkages with alpha 1,6 linkages used to create branches. Glycogen also has a small protein component that is used to initiate the glycogen polymer called glyocgenin.
Which nutrient class is used to build body tissues and make enzymes?
protein
What are the minerals needed by the enzymes used in photosynthesis and respiration?
protein is essential since all enzymes are protein
Which monomer would you use to build a protein?
Amino acids are the monomers used to build proteins. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.
What are the two functions of proteins?
Protein helps build and maintain body tissues like muscles Enzymes and hormones and other compounds in the body are made of protein Protein is used to make hair, skin and nails
What is made of enzymes?
enzymes are made up of protein; enzymes are used to speed up chemical reactions.
What are enzymes used for?
it is a protein to speed up a reation. it is like a catalyst.
Body uses of protein?
Protein is used by the body to build and repair tissues, such as muscles, skin, and hair. It is also essential for making enzymes and hormones that regulate various functions in the body, and for maintaining a healthy immune system. Additionally, protein can be used as an energy source when carbohydrates and fats are not available.
What process is used to build a protein?
translation
Are monomers made up of many polymer units?
No. Amino acid monomers are used to make protein polymers. Nucleotide monomers are used to make DNA polymers.
What does protein provides us?
It provides us with protein. Our bodies break it down into simpler components called amino acids and then uses them to build its own proteins, which are used for... well, darn near everything. Muscle tissue, connective tissue, enzymes, antibodies, you name it, they're all composed of protein.
Which is a protein that speeds up reactions in a cell without being used up?
enzymes
Which is protein that speeds up reactions in a cell without being used up?
enzymes
