Proteins
To analyze the structural similarities of molecules, we can superimpose them by aligning their common features or functional groups. This allows us to compare their shapes and arrangements to identify similarities and differences in their structures.
Molecules with the same molcular formulae but differing structural formulae are called isomers.
Cellulose, which is a structural component in the cell walls of plants, is made from a long chain of glucose molecules linked together.
The structural isomers of C5H10O2 ester are pentyl formate, pentyl acetate, and methyl butanoate. These molecules have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms.
A phosphate group can be found in molecules such as ATP, DNA, RNA, and phospholipids. It is often attached to other molecules to impart energy or structural properties.

tendons
Muscles are attached by tendons and ligaments to bones.
Tendons attach muscles to bones.
Tendons are attached to muscles.
Muscles are attached to tendons ( a dense connective tissue) which are then attached to Bones. Muscles -> Tendons -> Bones
Tendons
Tendons connect muscle to muscle and also muscle to bone.
Tendons attach muscles to bone. Tendons are strong, fibrous connective tissues that transfer the force generated by contracting muscles to bones, allowing movement to occur.
