Macromolecules
Macromolecules are large molecules made up of smaller molecules joined together. The four main groups are proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. They are essentially for proper cellular functioning.
500 Questions
Which macromolecule has the highest number of C-H bonds?
Asked by Wiki User
Lipids are the molecules with highest energy.
What organic macromolecule composed of only carbon oxygen and hydrogen has a ratio of one carbon atom to two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom?
Asked by Wiki User
Carbohydrates show the empirical ratio of CnH2nOn.
For example, glucose has formula C6H12O6.
What macromolecule is water?
Asked by Wiki User
No, water is a very small number, consisting of only three atoms and having a molecular mass of approximately 18 AMU.
What type of reaction results in the formation of all macromolecules?
Asked by Wiki User
by condensation reaction
What kind of macromolecules are built from carbon atoms that living organisms obtain from the carbon cycle?
Asked by Wiki User
All of them since they are organic. Lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids are considered to be the 4 groups of biological macromolecules.
What are the four main classes of macromolecules?
Asked by Wiki User
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Nucleic Acids, and Proteins.
What element is found in proteins that is not in the other macromolecules?
Asked by Wiki User
nitrogen :) have a great day people
What DNA begins to uncoil DNA?
Asked by Wiki User
DNA helix uncoils the DNA for transcription to occur.
The process of coping DNA is known as DNA?
Asked by Wiki User
Not sure of the question, please try to be clearer.
but the process of copying DNA is NOT known as DNA
DNA is replicated into new DNA
or transcribed into RNA....
What type of macromolecules are formed when amino acids are joined together?
Asked by Wiki User
Amino acids join together with peptide bonds to create long chains called polypeptides. These polypeptides are then assembled into a protein. Amino acids make proteins.
Is DNA in archea?
Asked by Wiki User
actual histone particles are not present in archaebacteria
they have some other type of dna binding protein
Are monomers made up of many polymer units?
Asked by Wiki User
No.
Amino acid monomers are used to make protein polymers.
Nucleotide monomers are used to make DNA polymers.
What are the two types of macromolecules found in a chromosome?
Asked by Wiki User
Your Mom and Your Dad... Just kidding it ia lipids and carbohydrates.
What are the 4 important macromolecules?
Asked by Wiki User
Proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids.
Where in your macromolecules are nitrogen and phosphates found?
Asked by Wiki User
Nucleic acids, such as RNA and DNA.
Identify three macromolecules that are components of the plasma membrane in a eukaryotic cell?
Asked by Wiki User
There are 4 major components:
1. phospholipid bilayer
2. Sterols (eg. cholestrol)
3. Proteins/ amino acids
4. Carbohydrates (exterior of some of them)
Which term identifies a reaction breaks apart macromolecules?
Asked by Wiki User
The term that identifies a reaction that breaks apart macromolecules is "hydrolysis." In hydrolysis, water molecules are used to break the bonds holding macromolecules together, resulting in the formation of smaller molecules or monomers.
