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.
755 Questions
How does the basic structures of a steroid differ from other macromolecules such as carbohydrates?
A steroid has 4-5 fused carbon rings. A monosaccharide has only one, a disaccharide has two, etc.
Why are atoms molecules macromolecules and organelles not found on the pyramid of life?
They alone do not show characteristics of life like growth,reproduction,homeostasis,reactions for stimulii.
To store energy
Proteins have diverse structures, diverse chemical properties, and flexible shapes.
How does basic structure of a steroid differ from other macromolecules such as carbohydrates?
a steroids has one ring with five carbons and three rings with six carbons and for carbohydrates: Monosaccharide has only one and a disaccharide has two etc..
Are proteins the most diverse class of macromolecules?
Yes, protiens perform many functions; this diversity of function is made possible by the diversity of protein structures.
If all fats are lipids why aren't all lipids fats?
While all fats are lipids, not all lipids are fats. Lipids encompass a wider category that includes fats, as well as molecules like phospholipids, steroids, and waxes. Fats specifically refer to lipids that are solid at room temperature and primarily function as energy storage molecules in organisms.
How many polymers do proteins have?
Proteins, also known as polypeptides, are polymers of individual amino acids (peptides). The number of amino acids in the protein chain varies widely.
There are dipeptides (2 amino acids), oligopeptides (with a small number of amino acids beyond 2), and full-scale polypeptides (which typically contain many amino acids).

There is no Ripjaws Code for DNA Lab. I wish there was though.
Which macromolecules surrounds and protect internal organs?
Plasma membrane protects cellular structures. They are made up of lipids
How does each of the four macromolecules of life function in living organisms?
carbohydrates and lipids are required as they are energy-giving substances, proteins are required as they are body-building substances, and nucleic acids are required as they store herditary information.
Why aren't amino acids considered a nutrient macromolecules?
If you have a(n) amino acid as a nutrient macromolecules, then everything that has it would be destroyed or killed, including fruits and animals, even people.
What kind of macromolecule is DNA polymerase?
DNA polymerase is an enzyme that helps catalyze the polymerization of DNA bases (deoxyribonucleotides) into a DNA strand.
