Macromolecules

Removal of water (dehydration synthesis is used in forming lipids, polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Sprite is a sugary beverage made mostly of water, carbon dioxide, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, natural flavors, and sodium citrate. These ingredients do not contribute to the macromolecule content of the drink.

Human DNA is similar to chimpanzee DNA with approximately 98% similarity, while goldfish DNA is significantly different. The main differences lie in the sequence of genes and the number of chromosomes. Although humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor, goldfish belong to a completely different evolutionary lineage.

Macromolecule digestion typically begins in the mouth with the breakdown of carbohydrates by amylase. Further digestion of macromolecules like proteins and lipids occurs in the stomach and small intestine with the help of various enzymes such as pepsin and pancreatic lipase.

Phospholipids

The "tails" are hydrophobic and the "head" is hydrophilic, which forms a bilayer with the "heads" on the outsides of the wall (near the water). This is crucial for cells in terms of what can enter and exit the cell.

What is the type of macromolecule that makes up most of the membrane structure?

The endoplasmic reticulum is mainly composed of lipids, such as phospholipids and cholesterol. Proteins are also present in the endoplasmic reticulum, serving various functions like aiding in protein synthesis and transport.

Yes, comparing the DNA of a child and their mother can help determine the DNA inherited from the father. By identifying the portions of the child's DNA that did not come from the mother, one can infer the genetic information contributed by the father. This can help establish paternity in cases where the father's DNA is not directly available for testing.

Protein digestion begins in the stomach or abomasum of ruminants. Pepsin, an enzyme released in the stomach, helps break down proteins into smaller peptides. Further digestion of proteins occurs in the small intestine with the help of enzymes like trypsin and chymotrypsin.

The four important macromolecules are carbohydrates (sugars and starches), lipids (fats and oils), proteins (amino acids), and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). These macromolecules are essential for various biological processes and functions within living organisms.

Organic molecules are molecules that contain hydrogen and carbon. Macromolecules are considered to be organic compounds because they are made up of many carbon and hydrogen atoms put together.

Protein macromolecules basically build all cells and make them work. Enzymes are also proteins. Without protein, you'd be very unhealthy and you wouldn't have any new cells and they wouldn't function quite so well!

Nucleic acids. The membrane contains mostly lipids. Other molecules acting as receptors contain both protein and carbohydrates. so the only macromolecule missing is nucleic acids.

Amino acids "join together" to form polypeptides. The amino acids are covalently bonded together via a condensation reaction to form a peptide bond. A chain of the amino acids bonded together is known as the polypeptide. A protein is made up of one or more polypeptides.

A Retsriction enzyme endonuclease is an enzyme that is used to cut DNA strands (both single and double strands) during finger printing at the DNA recognition sites known as restriction sites.

Tryptophan is an amino acid. Amino acids can join together to form peptides and then as the chain grows longer, proteins.

Yes, mitochondria have dissimilar DNA to nuclear DNA. That is because mitochondria arose endosymbiotically as an invasion of an early eukaryotic (nucleated) cell by a purple bacterium in a relationship which was subsequently symbiotic. Many mitochondrial substances are encoded for by the mitochondrial DNA. Some others important to mitochondrial function are also encoded by nuclear DNA. But yes, the mitochondrion would have to carry out its own transciption to make the products it itself coded for. As the mitochondrion was once an autonomous bacterium (way back in Cambrian or Precambrian times), its genome would be different to the actual genome of the organism's cell (in the nucleus) in which it resides. And thus for the large part it would function utterly independently. But there may be inteferences that evolved over the billions of years since the system's origin. As I said the nucleus itself encodes for at least some products essential to mitochondrial function.

Lipids provide the most amount of energy per gram compared to carbohydrates and proteins. They contain twice as many calories per gram (9 kcal/g) as carbohydrates and proteins (4 kcal/g).

The pancreas secretes its digestive enzymes into the small intestine. These enzymes help break down carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body for energy and growth.

Macromolecules of digestion include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. These complex molecules are broken down into smaller units during the process of digestion in order to be absorbed by the body for energy and nutrient storage.

A macromolecule of DNA forms a double helix structure, which is like a twisted ladder. It consists of two long strands of nucleotides that are linked together by hydrogen bonds and twist around each other to form a stable and organized shape.

The two types of macromolecules found in a chromosome are DNA and proteins. DNA carries genetic information, while proteins provide structure and help regulate gene expression. Together, they make up the chromatin structure of a chromosome.

The only thing I can add at this point, is: Human DNA/ Chimp DNA 98% match, versus

Human DNA/ Rhesus Monkey DNA 95% match. Although all living creatures have DNA and

share many similarities, the similarities become less and less as the evolutionary process

takes place. Therefore, Human DNA/ Jellyfish DNA = (60%?) match?

Carbohydrates are the macromolecule that performs both energy storage and structural functions in living organisms.Glucose is an example of a carbohydrate that stores chemical energy and cellulose is a carbohydrate that provides structural support in plant cell walls.
