Compare where and how the major types of macromolecules are digested and absorbed within the mammalian digestive system. Digestion: The process of digestion has a specific purpose, and that is to break down large food molecules into their small subunit...
Which of these types of molecules contain nitrogen? A) polysaccharides B) proteins C) steroids (a) Describe the structure of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. (b) Give an example of each. Closely related macromolecules often have many characteristics in common. For example, they share many ...
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 ...
Basic structures of some flavonoids’ backbone Flavonoids received considerable attention due to their wide biological activities. Many of them are known to possess hepatotoxic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-allergic and anti-ulcer effects. Also, flavonoids are known to be potent anti...
These help make sure cells are doing exactly what they are supposed to do. Often, these molecules are polymers, or long chains consisting of many similar units called monomers. There are four main categories of complex macromolecules, or large molecules, in the body. Lesson Quiz Course ...
1) provides many opportunities for mechanistic regulation, and complications, on both a cellular and molecular level. High blood pressure and continuous hyperglycemia in diabetics and genetic predisposition are amongst the most common causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (Webster et al. 2017). Fig...
The human body harbors many types of biofilms, some beneficial and some harmful. For example, the layers of normal microbiota lining the intestinal and respiratory mucosa play a role in warding off infections by pathogens. However, other biofilms in the body can have a detrimental effect on heal...
Carbohydrates are macromolecules which and contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (C,H,O). There are also two types of sugars, sweet soluble and starches which are non-soluble. Sugars can also be single or simple sugars.Carbohydrates can be found in a wide variety of foods such as pasta, whe...
(a) How many enzymes are in the digestive system? (b) Where do they produce? (c) What do they act on? (d) What does it produce? Enzymes: Enzymes are also known as biocatalyst. They are mostly made up of protein. Some of the ...
What compounds are the building blocks of DNA macromolecules? Explain the relationship between structure and function manifested in the replication of DNA. Is RNA a polymer of carbohydrates? How many strands make up an RNA polymer? Which molecule is responsible for joining DNA molecules together? Wh...
