How can you disrupt the different biological functions of proteins? What is the difference between Homo/heteropolymers and Homo/hetero proteins? What are the differences between simple and complex carbohydrates?
In the body, the major macronutrients are proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates; each of these different macromolecules has a unique function as it is built up in the cell.Answer and Explanation: Macromolecule building blocks can be assembled into ent...
EPS is a hydrated gel composed primarily of polysaccharides and containing other macromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. It plays a key role in maintaining the integrity and function of the biofilm. Channels in the EPS allow movement of nutrients, waste, and gases throughout ...
According to these hypotheses, the first living organisms were represented by multimolecular complexes that contained proteins, polycarbohydrates, and lipids. Compartmentalized and metabolically active, they had characteristics considered at the time as main attributes of life. Consistent with scientific views...

Binding sites for cholesterol and phospholipids are formed by kinks in the TM4 and TM10, suggesting that ABCB1 is affected by the lipids present in the cell membrane’s inner leaflet, consistent with cholesterol modulation of ABCB1 ATPase activity (Hegedüs et al., 2015; Alam et al., 2019...
Cells are composed of four macromolecules: Lipids, Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids. Lipids are fatty acids that are used to store energy in the cell and they also make up the cellular membrane. Carbohydrates make up energy and they are used as nutrients to the cell. Proteins have ...
Golgi Apparatus:Responsible for taking proteins and lipids within the cell and modifying, packaging, and transporting them via vesicles to other places within the cell. Also called the Golgi body or Golgi complex. Mitochondria:Responsible for energy production within the cell.The mitochondriagenerate a...
However, the accumulation of excessive ROS can cause damage to macromolecules (lipids, DNA and proteins) leading to cellular dysfunction. For instance, accumulation of cellular lipofuscin, containing oxidized lipids and cross-linked proteins, has been detected in fibroblasts and keratinocytes during ...
