Definition of term macromolecule,
Explanation of Solution
Macromolecule: A macromolecule is referred to a single type of molecule that consists of many atoms. For example, carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, etc.
Polymer: A polymer is a large change of a single unit of smaller molecules. These smaller unit, generally referred to as monomer is joined to one another chemically in a chain.
Carbohydrate: Carbohydrate is an organic compound, which is generally considered to be hydrates of carbon. Along with carbon, they have hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of 2:1. Examples of carbohydrates are starch, cellulose, glucose, fructose, maltose, etc.
Lipid: It is a type of organic molecule which are made up of fatty acids or their derivatives and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Example of the lipids are oil, wax, and steroids.
Protein: A protein is defined as a macromolecule which consists of a chain of amino acid residues, which are joined by the peptide bonds. The proteins are complex macromolecules, which have a definite structure and it is present in all living organisms in the form of enzymes, hormones, antibodies, etc.
Amino acid: An amino acid is an organic molecule which are the building blocks of the proteins. Chemically, it is made up of a carboxylic acid,
Nucleic acid: A nucleic acid is a chemical compound that represents macromolecules made up of nucleotides and contains the genetic information of a cell. It is used to code the proteins in the biological system. It is mainly of two types, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleotide: The nucleotides are the building blocks of the nucleic acids, such as DNA or RNA. It is made up of a sugar (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA), nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine or uracil) and phosphate group.

- The metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.arrow_forwardQUESTION 27 Label the structures marked A, B, C and explain the role of structure A.

We will use a different type of graph to derive additional information from the CO2 data (Fig A1.6.2) 1. Calculate the average rate of increase in COz concentration per year for the time intervals 1959-1969, 1969- 1979, etc. and write the results in the spaces provided. The value for 1959-1969 is provided for you as an example. 2. Plot the results as a bar graph. The 1959-1969 is plotted for you. 3.

- San Andreas Transform Boundary Plate Motion The geologic map below of southern California shows the position of the famous San Andreas Fault, a transform plate boundary between the North American Plate (east side) and the Pacific Plate (west side). The relative motion between the plates is indicated by the half arrows along the transform plate boundary (i.e., the Pacific Plate is moving to the northwest relative to the North American Plate). Note the two bodies of Oligocene volcanic rocks (labeled Ov) on the map in the previous page located along either side of the San Andreas Fault. These rocks are about 23.5 million years old and were once one body of rock. They have been separated by displacement along the fault. 21. Based on the offset of these volcanic rocks, what is the average annual rate of relative plate motion in cm/yr?
