Viroid
A infectious agent composed of a simple strand of RNA with no protein component is called a viroid. Viroids are smaller and simpler than viruses, consisting only of a short, circular RNA molecule. They can infect plants and disrupt their normal growth processes.
Conjugated proteins are composed of a protein component and a non-protein component called a prosthetic group. The prosthetic group can be a lipid, carbohydrate, metal ion, or other organic molecule that is covalently bound to the protein. This non-protein component is essential for the biological function of the conjugated protein.
Nonprotein
Yes, methane is a molecular component. It is a simple compound composed of one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms, with the chemical formula CH4.
No, glycerol is not a component of the cell membrane structure. Glycerol is a simple sugar alcohol that is a key component of lipids such as triglycerides. Cell membranes are primarily composed of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates forming a phospholipid bilayer.
An infectious agent consisting of a protein is a prion. This is a misfolded protein. It can cause several central nervous system diseases including Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, Fatal Familial Insomnia and Kuru in humans, Spongiform Encephalopathy in cows, mink, and cats plus Scrapie in sheep.A VIROID consists only of a minuscule circular RNA molecule, lacking the protein coat of a virus. Viroids appear to be transmitted mechanically from one cell to another through cellular debris. They infect only plants. Viroids are common plant pathogens which cause severe economic problems.A vector is something that carries something else. Like the bacteria on our hands or the ones on the feet of flies.A virus is much more complicated than the viroid or prion and has DNA or RNA (not both) as their genetic material with a protein coat surrounding them.
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.
No, water does not contain protein. Water is a simple molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, and it does not contain any protein molecules. Protein is commonly found in foods such as meat, dairy products, beans, and nuts.
A virus is a small infectious agent that can only replicate inside the living cells of other organisms. It consists of genetic material (RNA or DNA) enclosed in a protein coat and is considered a non-living entity.
a simple protein-rich sample can be prepared by a mixture of yellow-yolk of egg and buffalo milk
amino acids
Yes, a compound machine may be composed of 2 or more simple machines.
