What are the bond linking monomers for each of these biological macromolecules: Protein, Carbohydrate, Nucleic Acid, and Lipid.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Protein - Peptide bond

Proteins are formed by when the amino acids(Monomers) are linked by a covalent bond known as a peptide bond. In peptide bond carboxyl group of one monomer is linked with the amino group of another monomer and a molecule of water is lost.

Carbohydrate - Glycosidic bond.

In glycosidic bond monosaccharides(monomers) are linked together and a molecule of water is released. OH group of both the monomers are linked together which results in dehydration. It is a type of covalent bond.

Nucleic acid - Phosphodiester bond

In phosphodiester bond nucleotides are linked together. The bond is formed between OH of 3' carbon of one monomer sugar and OH of a phosphate group present 5' carbon of the sugar of another monomer. In the process water is lost. It is also a type of covalent bond

Lipid - Ester linkage.

Like every other linking bonds of biomolecules, it is also a dehydration reaction that means a water molecule is lost and it is also a covalent bond.

In studying a particular bio-molecule (a protein, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, or lipid) in the laboratory, the biochemist first needs to separate it from other biomolecules in the sample—that is, to purify it. Specific puri-fication techniques are described later in the book. However, by looking at the monomeric subunits of a biomolecule, you should have some ideas about the characteristics of the mole-cule that would allow you to separate it from other molecules. For example, how would you separate (a) amino...
