Because of nature and their large size, they are classified as macromolecules. Lipids are not usually polymers and are smaller than the other three i.e. carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acid. What qualifies lipids as macromolecules? Lipids are a class of macromolecules thatare nonpolar and hy...
How are lipids used an energy source by the body? Define carbohydrates. What are food sources of carbohydrates? Why is macromolecules important in your diet? What are the differences in energy density between fats, carbohydrates, and proteins?
Why are ciliated epithelial cells important? Why the basic structure of a cell membrane (bi-layer) is proteins and lipids? Why do cells spend most of their life in interphase? Why are prokaryotic cells generally smaller than eukaryotic cells?
Lysosomes are acidic organelles, whose main function is to break down macromolecules and recycle their breakdown products. Lysosomes are composed of an acidic lumen surrounded by lipid bilayer membrane. The acid lumen contains hydrolytic enzymes, including nucleases, proteases, phosphatases, lipases, and ...
viruses are made up of molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, etc. Viruses are protein and genetic material that can survive and reproduce within a host. Answer and Explanation:1 The answer to whether viruses are alive or not is unclear. The traits of living th...
Macromolecules:Macromolecules are molecules in which thousands of atoms are joined to each other through covalent bonds. A covalent bond s a chemical bond in which two atoms come together to share electrons.Answer and Explanation: Nucleic acids are important macromolecules because they store and ...
Why do mitochondria and chloroplasts have 2 bilayer lipids around them? Why is mitochondria impermeable to oxaloacetate? What part of a cell uses the most oxygen? Why are enzymes important to cells? Why are red blood cells eukaryotic?
Why are cells alive but macromolecules are not? Why are cells so small? Why are most cells so small? Why do complex organisms need specialized cells? Why do cells divide? Why it is beneficial for cells to be small? Why are red blood cells considered cells? Why do cells go through ...
Why do plants store starch instead of lipids? Why does salivary amylase stop working in the stomach? Why aren't the acinar cells of the pancreas digested? Is starch produced when a leaf is kept in the dark, why or why not? What is starch in biology?
The physiological process of the body that involves mechanical and chemical division of the food particles is called digestion. The digested food molecules are absorbed by the intestine of the digestive tract in the form of macromolecules.Answer and Explanation: ...
