While analysing the structure of the plasma membrane of a recently discovered organism, a biologist extracts a previously unknown macromolecule using a non-polar solvent. The biomolecule is composed primarily of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and has a complex structure with multiple rings. Based on this information, the biomolecule is most likely to be a

    Carbohydrates, sugar molecules, are known as “fast fuel” in the body, and they contain base elements of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. (Lea, 2002) The simplest carbohydrate molecule is known as a monosaccharide, which is a simple sugar. Monosaccharide’s can be joined together by a covalent glycosidic bond to create more complex sugars such as disaccharides (2 monosaccharide’s), oligosaccharides (between three to ten monosaccharide’s) and polysaccharides (consists of several monosaccharide’s). (Karp, 2010) Starch is the most common nutritional polysaccharide, which consists of two polymers: amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is unbranched whereas amylopectin is branched. Structural polysaccharides consist of cellulose, which is a major component of plant cell walls; chitin, which is a tough outer covering of invertebrates; and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). (Karp, 2010)…

    Such as the nerve cells, blood cells and white cells. It is because different groups of genes in DNA are turned on, they tell the cells to construct a different-function protein. Like collagen, a fiber that makes up skin and bones, or keratin makes up hair. Before, I always have the wrong idea that there is only one type of protein in our body because the genetic information is the same in each cell. But the truth is, the varieties of genes are more than I expect. I should learn more about different kinds of protein in our…

    As the name suggests, macromolecules are large molecules that make up more than 90% of the total cell mass. These biological macromolecules vary greatly in size - from several hundred to several hundred million molecular weight units - and are made up of monomer units. There are four major classes of biological macromolecules: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids (Sheeler & Bianchi, 1980). Proteins are made up of polymers of amino acids. The shape and structure of a cell is defined by proteins (Alberts et al., 1989). Carbohydrates are made up of polymers of simple sugars called monosaccharides.…
