Lipids contain more energy that carbohydrates because they contain more carbon to hydrogen bonds to release energy when broken.

<span>A macromolecule is a large molecule. There are four groups of macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Lipids consist of glycerol and fatty acids and are constructed from fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. A lipid's function is to insulate the body and provide warmth in cold conditions. It can be concluded that a person with very little body fat gets very cold easily and a person with a lot of body fat gets very warm very quickly.

Which of the following pairs of base sequences could form a short stretch of a normal double helix of DNA?

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

D) 5'-ATGC-3' with 5'-GCAT-3'

Explanation:

In a double helix DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine. Also, the two strands of a double helix DNA are antiparallel, that is, the 5' end of one strand lies opposite to the 3' end of another strand.

Therefore, a DNA strand with base sequence 5'-ATGC-3' would have a complementary strand 5'-GCAT-3'.

Which of the following options best depicts the flow of information when a gene directs the synthesis of a cellular component? A

tangare [24]

Answer:

B) DNA → RNA → protein

Explanation:

Gene directs the synthesis of a cellular component through what is called gene expression.
During gene expression, information from the DNA is used to synthesis proteins, through the process of transcription followed by translation.
Transcription is the process that involves use of information carried by DNA to generate messenger RNA, in the nucleus of a cell. Then translation which uses the information carried by the mRNA to generate proteins in the organelles known as ribosomes.
