Why are carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids not as functionally diverse as proteins?
Homework Answers
QUESTION-1
ANSWER
Carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids are not functionally diverse as proteins because there are 20 coding amino acids which form different kinds of proteins and a slight change in the amino acid sequence produces a new protein.
Carbohydrates are made up of sugar monomers and lipids are made up of fatty acids which are hydrophobic in nature.
There are only 5 nucleic acid- thymine, cytosine, guanine, uracil, adenine.
Proteins are the most diverse molecules found in living beings.
Monomers join together to form polymers.
Proteins may be of following types-
- Structural proteins
- Protective proteins
- Regulatory proteins
- Contractile proteins
- Enzymes
- Transport proteins
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
