How do amino acids bond together ? Use a basic diagram of an amino acid molecule ato show how 2 amino acids would bond together. Identify the ty of reaction as well the type of bond formed.
Two biomolecules—starch and cellulose —illustrate how apparently minute differences in structure can result in vastly different properties ?
Galactose and glucose have the same molecular formula, and the only difference
is the orientation of the hydroxyl bond at the 4' position. Why is this type of
distinction of bond orientations important in biology?

Glucose can be metabolized into energy, but galactose cannot.
The bonds have different polarity, so they form hydrogen bonds with different
strengths.
O Enzymes and binding proteins are specific enough to detect the different
configurations and must bind one sugar or the other.
O The two forms switch back and forth spontaneously, which makes the molecules more
flexible and versatile.

Doxorubicin works by binding to DNA in such a way that a portion of it penetrates the DNA double helix— a process called intercalation. During transcription— the process that forms RNA— portions of the DNA strands are temporarily separated for the base sequence to be read and then are reconnected. With bound doxorubicin, however, the double helix does not reform properly after the strands are separated, which disrupts replication— the process that forms an identical copy of DNA. Which portion of doxorubicin do you think intercalates into the DNA double helix, and why do you think it has little difficulty doing so?arrow_forward
