How do proteins differ from carbohydrates and lipids?
1 Answer
Proteins are large molecules that consist of long chains of amino acids joined together by peptide (
Explanation:
Proteins
The structure of a small protein is
Proteins have polar C=O and N-H groups, so they are able to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules and with each other.
Carbohydrates have many polar
A typical carbohydrate is starch, which is consists of many glucose units (
Most carbohydrates are hydrophilic and soluble in water because of their polar
Lipids are hydrophobic and insoluble in water.
They have varied structures, but all have a polar "head" and a large nonpolar "tail"".
Fats and oils are typical lipids.
The structure of a typical fat is
The molecule is mostly nonpolar hydrocarbon with some polar
