Macromolecules are made from thousands/hundred of thousands of smaller molecules(monomers). They are formed bya process called polymerization. Polymerization is the process by which large compounds are built by joining smaller ones together, or monomers coming together to make polymers. Many. How are...
The center of the enlarged cell constricts until two daughter cells are formed, each offspring receiving a complete copy of the parental genome and a division of the cytoplasm (cytokinesis). This process of cytokinesis and cell division is directed by a protein called FtsZ. FtsZ assembles into ...
Polymers are naturally occurring substances composed of macromolecules, which are in turn made up of a multiple number of simple chemical units known as monomers. Click to read more...
It is generally believed that macromolecules penetrate the capillary wall via mobile plasmalemmal vesicles (transcytosis). However, recent evidence suggests that filtration across rare capillary leaks is the main exchange process for large solutes. Furthermore, diffusion of albumin and other small negativel...
Are molecules composed of smaller subunits linked together called monomers or polymers? Explain. Explain the difference between a monomer and a polymer. How are macromolecules made? (b) What kind of reaction? (b) How are they broken down? Is starch a monomer or a polymer? Explain. How are...
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. ...
Macromolecules are typically affected by heat, therefore they have the potential to serve as thermosensors (Hayes et al. 2021). As one of the most thermosensitive macromolecular structures, the plasma membrane has long been considered as a major candidate for plant thermosensing. The increase of me...
Enzymes are macromolecules that act as a catalyst, and it’s a chemical agent that accelerates the reaction without being consumed by the feedback or the results (Campbell and Reece, 2005). After the adjustment by the enzymes, the chemical movement through the pathways of metabolism will become...
All macromolecules except lipids are long chains made up of smaller building blocks. For example, carbohydrates are polysaccharides which are just a bunch of monosaccharides.Proteins are made up of amino acids and DNA and RNA are made up of nucleotides. Another difference is that lipids are not ...
