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
What macromolecules is made up of nucleic acids?
Nucleic acids are macromolecules that contain genetic information and are made up of nucleotide monomers. The two main types of nucleic acids are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
What are the macromolecules in honey?
They are the carbohydrates. It is a disaccharide called fructoses
What are the 5 elements typically found in macromolecules?
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus
Which macromolecule is olive oil?
Lipids - including canola oil and sunflower oil, with fish and avocadosi
Which of the four types of macromolecules units called monosaccharides?
They are type of monomers. They build up carbohydrates.
What macromolecule have nitrogen?
Proteins and nucleic acids contain nitrogen.
Proteins use nitrogen as part of amino group, which is NH2.
Nucleic acids use nitrogen for nitrogen bases such as adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.
Which of macromolecules cannot dissolve in water?
Lipids are not dissolving,. They have a hydrophobic part
Why is it impossible to give an exact formula for polythene macromolecule?
Because polythene has repetitive strings of CH2 units, so instead of writing out all of them, it is written as an “n” which is not exact.
Amino acid is what macromolecule?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are a type of macromolecule. Proteins are composed of long chains of amino acids folded into complex three-dimensional structures that are essential for various biological functions in living organisms.
What are the monomers of nucleic acids called?
The monomers of nucleic acids are called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of three components: a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine in DNA, and uracil replaces thymine in RNA).
In what structure does Bacterial DNA resemble human DNA?
That they have both DNA
Bacterial DNA is a (closed) circle, those of human is lineair (straight) if you stretch it.
Bacterial DNA does not have Proteines, Human DNA has Proteines.
Bacteria have also RNA
The DNA of bacteria is easy to reach , those of human not.
What is the process of DNA replication?
Double Helix unwound and each strand acts as a template. Bases are matched to synthesize the new strand.
the DNA molecule splits down the middle, or unzips, into two strands.
V
each strand serves as a template or model, to produce the new strands.
V
two new DNA strands are produced, following the rules of base pairing.
a. replication
Is RNA polymerase used in both leading and lagging strands of DNA replication?
No, RNA polymerase is not used in both leading and lagging strands of DNA replication. RNA polymerase is responsible for transcribing DNA into RNA during gene expression, while DNA polymerase is responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands during replication. DNA polymerase is used on both the leading and lagging strands during DNA replication.
Which substance makes up the macromolecule carbohydrates?
Monomer is called monosaccharide. They are made up of C,H,O
What macromolecules is often made of three acids bound to a glycerol molecule?
They are the lipids. They are the monomers of lipids
Which class of macromolecules is primarly used as rapidly available energy source by living lings?
They are the lipids. They store a lot of energy
