The Different Roles of Macromolecules in Biology.There are four types of macromolecules that I am going to describe: Proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ lipids and nucleic acid. I will also describe the functions and why they are important in our bodies. Proteins Proteins are polymers of amino acids that are joined head-to-tail in a long chain that is then folded into a three-dimensional structure unique to each type of protein. The covalent linkage between two adjacent amino acids in a protein (or polypeptide)

Interpretation of Results As observed by the group in a normal diode circuit placed in a forward bias generates a sinusoidal output wave. In order to trim the output waves‚ that are a sinusoidal wave‚ to be generated‚ a clipper circuit was made with the use of diodes. The limiting level of a clipper circuit is the barrier potential of the diode in use. A diode clipper that trims down the positive half cycle input of a wave signal is as positive limiter. The output signal will retain the original

Macromolecule Report Monomer units of biological macromolecules have heads and tails. When they polymerize in a head-to-tail fashion‚ the resulting polymers also have heads and tails. These macromolecules are polar because they are formed by head to tail condensation of polar monomers. Making Glucose: Green plants manufacture glucose through a process that requires light‚ known as photosynthesis. This process takes place in the leaf chloroplasts. Carbon dioxide and water molecules enter a sequence

A macromolecule can best be described as an immense molecule‚ made up of thousands of covalently bonded carbon atoms. There are four classifications of macromolecules: carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. Each classification performs specific functions that allow cells to grow and survive. Macromolecules can be either split or bonded through dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis. Dehydration synthesis occurs when water is released‚ electrons become shared‚ covalently bonding two

Half Life Experiment My hypothesis would be that after each shaking about half of the remaining candies would be logo-up and half of them logo-down. That’s why the shaking represents a "half-life". half-life || total time (sec) || # of undecayed atoms || # of decayed atoms 0 0 100 0 1 5 65 35 2 10 51

IDENTIFICATION OF SOME MACROMOLECULES | | INTRODUCTION Dehydration-synthesis is a reaction that occurs to form different types of macromolecules. It is a reaction that leaves a macromolecule structure along the lines of developing its own specific function in a living organism. The 4 most common ones are carbohydrates which includes monosaccharides and polysaccharides‚ lipids‚ proteins and nucleic acids (Mack 2012). Scientists identify different types of macromolecules to achieve a better
