- Biomolecules: What are the building blocks of life? From the smallest single-celled organism to the tallest tree, all life depends on the properties and reactions of four classes of organic (carbon-based) compounds-carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates, Lipids, and Proteins are the 3 building blocks of all living things that we will focus on in this unit. These are called macromolecules (or biomolecules) because they are large molecules. They are responsible for most of the body's structure and functions, including energy storage, insulation, growth, repair, and communication. Simple organic molecules can be joined together to form all the essential biological molecules needed for life. Table 1 shows a sample elephant diet and Table 2 shows a sample lion diet. Using the background information, predict the main function of the macromolecules in their diet. Table 1 Elephant proteins (5) fats (%) alfalfa hay 19.0 grass hay timothy hay Proteins Carbohydrates…arrow_forwardWhich of the following BEST explains the molecular nature of all organic compounds? Organic compounds such as water, monosaccharides, amino acids, and nucleotides compose the basic A monomers needed to sustain the normal metabolic machinery in cells. Generally speaking, organic compounds are the outcome of chemically bonding hydrogen and carbon atoms, (B) В and possibly others such as oxygen and nitrogen. Only members of Domain Eukarya (eukaryotic organisms) may reveal organic compounds in their cellular and molecular structures. Obviously, organic compounds only exists in the living world whereas, inorganic compounds can only be found in D non-living thingsarrow_forwardProteins are made from chains of amino acids. The amino acids are joined together by structures called peptide bonds. For this problem, draw all hydrogen atoms explicitly. Part A Draw the dipeptide that results when a peptide bond is formed between the two glycine molecules shown here. (Figure 1) Draw it as it would occur at the pH of most body fluids. Draw the molecule on the canvas by choosing buttons from the Tools (for bonds), Atoms, and Advanced Template toolbars. The single bond is active by default. Include all hydrogen atoms and charges.arrow_forward
- Why are van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonding important for cells? in detailarrow_forwardMatch the following terms (A to F) with the statements (i – vi) below by selecting from the drop-down menus. Each choice may be used once, more than once, or not at all. A nonpolar covalent bond B polar covalent bond C ionic bond hydrogen bond E hydrophobic interaction F All of the above (1) Explains most specifically the attraction of water molecules to each other (i) Important for self-assembly of membranes (iii) Important in large biological molecules (iv) Joins backbone atoms in fatty acids (v) Easily disrupted in presence of water (vi) Important for alpha helix and beta sheet formation in proteinsarrow_forwardCould you write me a paragraph on the importance of bonds and bonding in organisms. Can you use only 1 of these topics: • Monomers and polymers • Carbohydrates • Lipids • General properties of proteins • Many proteins are enzymes • Structure of DNA and RNA • DNA replication • ATP • Water – cohesion • Mitosis • Transport across cell membranes • Cell recognition and the immune system • Digestion and absorption • Mass transport in animals – haemoglobin • Mass transport in plants • DNA and protein synthesis • Mutation and meiosis • Photosynthesis • Nutrient cyclesarrow_forward
- Macromolecules are very large molecules created by the polymerization of small units called monomers. Most of the macromolecules are present in everyday life, for instance in food. In the Introduction to Food Macromolecules simulation, you will help your friend determine a healthy diet and investigate the types of macromolecules found in food. By performing a series of biochemistry tests, you will know the content of various food items. * * What are the different forms (i.e., monomers, polymers) of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins? * What macromolecules do each of the biochemical tests check for? * What would an abundance or deficiency of one of the macromolecules cause to the human body?arrow_forwardWhen a small, globular protein unfolds, which of the following are true? Choice 1 of 6:the temperature must increase Choice 2 of 6:the entropy of the peptide backbone increases Choice 3 of 6:the entropy of the solvent waters increases Choice 4 of 6:H bonds between peptide backbone atoms must break Choice 5 of 6:new attractive interactions form between water and side chains Choice 6 of 6:a detergent molecule must be addedarrow_forward2.1 INSTRUCTIONS: - Do not copy answers from Google or Bartleby.
