Macromolecules

Enzymes are the type of macromolecule that helps a cell break down food. Enzymes act as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions that break down large molecules into smaller ones that can be used by the cell for energy or growth.

DNA polymerase is an enzyme responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands during DNA replication. It adds nucleotides to the growing DNA chain by catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides. DNA polymerase also has proofreading capabilities to ensure accuracy in replication.

Proteins provide the most nitrogen for organisms. Proteins are composed of amino acids, and nitrogen is a key component of amino acids. During protein metabolism, nitrogen is utilized by organisms for various biological processes, including growth and repair.

False. Glycerol is not a macromolecule itself, but a component of lipids. The four major types of macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.

When pairing DNA to DNA - A binds to T and C binds to G.

However, in RNA, the T is replaced with U.

Therefore when DNA pairs with mRNA - A binds to U, C binds to G and T binds to A.

The main elements of lipids are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Lipids serve various functions in the body, including storing energy, forming cell membranes, and acting as signaling molecules. They also play a role in insulation and protection of organs.

French fries primarily contain carbohydrates (starch), which is a macromolecule that provides energy when broken down into glucose. They also contain some amount of fats/oils, which are another macromolecule that provides energy and important nutrients like essential fatty acids. Additionally, there can be some small amounts of proteins in the form of plant-based proteins from the potatoes themselves.

Lysosomes are organelles that contain enzymes responsible for breaking down macromolecules such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. They help with digestion by fusing with other vesicles containing the material to be broken down.

Fats are a type of macromolecule known as lipids. Lipids are molecules composed predominantly of carbon and hydrogen, and they are hydrophobic in nature. Fats serve as a concentrated source of energy for the body and play a role in insulation and protection of organs.

A macromolecule that contains nitrogenous bases is DNA or RNA. These molecules are composed of nucleotide subunits that contain nitrogenous bases like adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil. Nitrogenous bases are essential for genetic information storage and transfer in living organisms.

You can look at nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and proteins using gel electrophoresis. However, different techniques are needed for each type of macromolecule. For nucleic acids, agarose gel electrophoresis is commonly used, while for proteins, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is typically employed.

Pepsin helps break down proteins into smaller peptides in the stomach.

Carbohydrates and lipids are the two macromolecules responsible for storing and releasing energy in organisms. Carbohydrates are stored in the form of glycogen in animals and starch in plants, while lipids are stored as fats in adipose tissues. When needed, these molecules can be broken down through metabolic processes to release energy for cellular functions.

No, a steroid is not a macromolecule. Steroids are a type of lipid made up of four fused carbon rings, and they are classified as small organic molecules due to their size and structure. Macromolecules are large molecules like proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids that are made up of smaller subunits.

Honey is primarily composed of simple sugars such as glucose and fructose. It is not considered a macromolecule since it does not contain large, complex chains of molecules like proteins, lipids, or carbohydrates. Honey also contains small amounts of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Soybeans are primarily made up of macromolecules called proteins, carbohydrates (such as starch and fiber), and fats. These macromolecules provide essential nutrients and energy for human consumption.

We inherit our DNA from our biological parents. Half of our DNA comes from our mother and half from our father through the process of sexual reproduction. DNA contains the instructions for building and functioning of our bodies.

Sarah was here<3333

........and she is amazing :p

according to my calculations a fun fact about protein is it comes from meat and beans and other things.

Proteins among many things are in the form of Enzymes and Amino Acids are readily used in the body. They are important for almost everything. From skin formation, nail growth, hair growth, muscle growth, tissue healing, food digestion, and our genetic material!

Proteins are macromolecules made of amino acids. Amino acids are linked together in a specific sequence to form proteins, which are essential for many biological functions in the body. The order of amino acids in a protein determines its structure and function.

DNA is a type of macromolecule known as a nucleic acid. It contains the genetic information necessary for the development and functioning of living organisms. Proteins, another type of macromolecule, are synthesized based on the instructions coded in DNA.

Yes. Proteins are macromolecules. A macromolecule simply is a larger molecule made of many smaller molecules. There are four types of macromolecules

a) Proteins are composed of amino acids

b) Carbohydrates are made of sugars

c) Nucleic acids are composed of nucleotides. RNA is made of ribonucleotides and DNA is made of Deoxyribonucleotides

d) Lipids are made of glycerol linked to one, two or three fatty acids

The new biological macromolecules do not form abiotically from the living matter on the earth today because they depend on the parent cell. It is the type of parent cell will determine the type of the new biological macromolecules formed.

The lysosome is the digestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed within a cell. It contains enzymes that break down larger molecules into smaller components that can be used by the cell for energy or building blocks.

DNA is duplicated during the S phase of the cell cycle, prior to cell division. DNA is duplicated to ensure that each new cell receives an exact copy of the genetic information, allowing for the accurate transmission of genetic material to the daughter cells.

Triacylglycerols consist of a glycerol molecule attached to three fatty acids through ester linkages. They serve as a major energy storage molecule in organisms, providing a concentrated source of metabolic fuel. Triacylglycerols are stored in specialized cells called adipocytes in animals and in structures like seeds in plants.
