What type of reaction occurs between building block subunits to create proteins and lipids and complex carbohydrates and nucleic acids?
In each case, two compounds combine with the elimination of a molecule of water. A reaction in which a small molecule is lost is called a condensation reaction. More specifically, since it is water that is lost, these are dehydrationreactions.
Amino acids combine in the synthesis of the polypeptide chains that make up proteins.
Glycerol (a trihydric alcohol) and three fatty acids combine to form a lipid.
Monosaccharides combine to form polysaccharides (complex carbohydrates).
Nucleotides combine to form a strand of a nucleic acid.
What else can I help you with?
Subunits in carbohydrates?
The subunits (or monomers) of carbohydrates are monosaccharides and disaccharides. The polymers (the products of these linked subunits) are starches and polysaccharides.
What are the names of the subunits that make up protein?
Amino acids are the subunits that make up proteins.
What are the smaller subunits that make up a molecule?
The smaller subunits that make up a molecule are called atoms. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter and can combine in various ways to form molecules. In larger biological molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates, these subunits can be further categorized; for example, amino acids make up proteins, while nucleotides make up nucleic acids like DNA and RNA.
Are carbohydrates lipids nucleic acids and proteins are they polymers?
Carbohydrates and proteins are indeed considered polymers because they are composed of repeating subunits: carbohydrates consist of sugar monomers, while proteins are made up of amino acid monomers. Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are also polymers formed from nucleotide subunits. However, lipids are not classified as polymers; they are a diverse group of molecules that do not consist of repeating monomeric units.
What subunits are present in carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates, Cx(H2O)y, are made up of two subunits, carbon (Cx) and water (H2O)y, where x and y are the number of molecules in each of the subunits.
What is a large molecule that is make up of identical or similar subunits linked together?
A polymer is a large molecule made up of identical or similar subunits linked together. Examples of polymers include proteins, DNA, and carbohydrates.
The subunits of proteins?
No. Amino acids are sub-units of proteins
Ribosomes are made up of two subunits?
There are two components.They are rRNA and proteins
Large organic molecules that are synthesized from multiple subunits are?
Molecules that are synthesised from multiple subunits are known as polymers. The subunits are known as monomers. An example of a polymer is a protein, which is made up of amino acid subunits (monomers). A large organic molecule, usually created by polymerisation of monomers is known as a macromolecule. This includes nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates.
How many different kinds of protein subunits are there?
1000's of proteins subunits can be made.
What are the subunits of a protine?
The subunits of proteins are called amino acids. We use twenty of these amino acids to make all the proteins the body uses.
What are the subunits of proteins called?
Amino Acids
