Proteins carbs and lipids are also called?
macronutrients -katty
Which of the 4 macromolecules is also called a polypeptide chain?
Proteins.
What are the predominant regulators of circulating blood volume?
Plasma proteins are the predominant regulators of circulating blood volume. Plasma proteins are also called blood proteins or serum proteins.
Is the Golgi apparatus a stack of membranes that packages proteins into sacs called vesicles?
Yes,it also modify proteins into glycoproteins
Chains of amino acid?
A chain of amino acids make up a protein and is also called a polypeptide chain.
What are the monomers for the polymers in proteins?
The monomers for proteins are amino acids. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.
Where in the cells are the proteins made?
Proteins are made in the cytoplasm. In prokaryotes, there are proteins called ribosomes that link on to the mRNA and synthesize a protein. This process is called translation. In eukaryotes however, translation also occurs on ribosomes which are situated on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum. Although there are some notable differences in the process in which proteins are made in both systems, protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm.
What are the proteins used in active transport called?
Proteins used in active transport are called transport proteins. These proteins are responsible for moving molecules or ions across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy in the form of ATP.
Which cellular is responsible for packaging the proteins that the cell secret?
The Golgi Body (also called the Golgi Apparatus) packages and ships cell products. They can be proteins as well as lipids.
Simple proteins are composed of only what?
Simple proteins are composed of only amino acids. These proteins are also called monomeric proteins because they consist of a single polypeptide chain. The sequence of amino acids determines the structure and function of the protein.
What are 'first class proteins'?
animal proteins are called first class proteins.
What are proteins that are pathogens called?
Proteins that are pathogens are called antigens. These antigens can trigger an immune response in the body, leading to the production of antibodies to fight off the pathogen.
