What macromolecule is produced during translation? Which one of the monomers below would most readily polymerize, using an anionic mechanism? What are the differences between polymers and monomers? What has nucleic acids? Is gelatin a protein, carbohydrate, lipid, or nucleic acid?
Catherine has taught various college biology courses for 5 years at both 2-year and 4-year institutions. She has a Ph.D. in cell and molecular biology. Have you ever wondered what the doctor is measuring when he does a lipid screen? Or why a lipid screen is even necessary to begin wit...
It is found between the extracellular fluid and intracellular fluid. It contains many proteins, little carbohydrates, and no water. It is a semipermeable membrane that is made up of a lipid bilayer. Specifically, there are 55% proteins, 25% phospholipids, 13% cholesterol, 4% other lipids that...
long-chain fatty acids, and hydrosymyristic acid. Core oligosaccharide is composed of two sugars; keto-deoxy octanoic acid and a heptose sugar bounded together by Lipid A. O-polysaccharide are composed
Biochemists find uses for biomolecules. For example, a biochemist may use a certain lipid as a food additive. Alternatively, a biochemist might find a substitute for a usual biomolecule. For example, biochemists help to develop artificial sweeteners. ...

(countable) A lipid that is solid at room temperature, which fat tissue contains and which is also found in the blood circulation; sometimes, a refined substance chemically resembling such naturally occurring lipids. Dietary fat is not the evil that it was once misapprehended to be; carbs are...
According to this definition, weight loss is the main feature of cachexia. In particular, the assessment criteria included a minimum of 5% of weight loss during the last 12 months (or a BMI < 20.0 kg/m2 whenever a history of weight loss cannot be documented) in the pr...
Thus, a very careful definition of the purpose of the biomarker must be established. A second consideration is that although biomarkers may be reflective of underlying disease processes, such as the release of cardiac myocyte enzymes with ischemia or mediators of profibrotic pathways in hypertensive ...
The plasma membrane is the outermost layer of the living cell, and it is the living part of the cell that isolates the cell from the surrounding environment. It is a lipid bilayer with inner hydrophobic tail and an outer hydrophilic head of the lipid ...
