Carbohydrates and lipids are both types of macromolecules found in living things. Carbohydrates are often referred to as sugars and are found in different forms such as glucose and maltose. Lipids are fats, oils, waxes and steroids and are made up of fatty acids. ...
The four types of macromolecules in biology are: lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids. There are two types of nucleic acids: DNA and RNA. In the case of eukaryotic cells, during the majority of the cell cycle,DNA is located in the nucleus. RNA is located in the nucleus and ...
There are four categories of macromolecules or biological molecules that are necessary for life. The four classes of macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids.Answer and Explanation: Proteins are similar to polysaccharides in a myriad of ways. Both of these are biological ma...
biomolecule, also called biological molecule, any of numerous substances that are producedby cells and living organisms. Biomolecules have a wide range of sizes and structures and perform a vast array of functions. The four major types of biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and ...
The name liposome was derived from the two Greek words lipo meaning fat and soma meaning body, which perfectly describes these spherical objects that are made mainly from lipids. In some cases other constituents are added to modify their chemical and physical properties (Figure 9b). Liposomes are...
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 ...
Role of lipids in cell membrane structure and function Biochemical mechanisms of DNA repair Metabolic pathways in cancer cells: targets for drug development Protein folding and its implications in diseases Biochemistry of hormone action in human physiology Molecular biology of gene expression and regulation...
lipids and the solution-determined effects of micromolecules that facilitate retention of these evolved differences under different environmental conditions. Within the generic category “micromolecules,” I group the small organic molecules and inorganic ions that comprise the greater share of the cell’...
What are at least three things which can happen to carbohydrates after they get absorbed into the bloodstream? How are lipids used an energy source by the body? Explain how excess dietary carbohydrates are converted to fat in the body.
Why do lipids make effective cell membranes in living cells? Why can't water go through the phospholipid bilayer? How do lipid soluble molecules cross the cell membrane? Briefly describe the structure of a eukaryotic plasma membrane, identifying at least two com...
