Polysaccharides, lipids, and proteins are similar in that they?

Question

Polysaccharides, lipids, and proteins are similar in that they

a) are synthesized from monomers by the process of hydrolysis.

b) are synthesized from monomers by the dehydration reactions.

c) are synthesized as a result of peptide bond formation between monomers.

d) are decomposed into their subunits by dehydration reactions.

e) all contain nitrogen in their monomer building blocks.

thanks! :)

Answer 1

hydrolysis breaksdown complex biomolecules, so a is definitely not the answer. peptide bonds are solely for proteins so it cannot be the answer since the question involves carbohydrates and lipids as well. dehydration reactions enable build up of subunits to form complex biomolecules and not the other way around as suggested in letter d. carbohydrates and lipids do not have Nitrogen, so letter e is not the answer.

the best answer is letter b since, as i stated earlier, dehyration synthesis enables the build up of monomers to form complex molecules.

Answer 2

B, I know that a protein is formed from amino acids that form a protein through dehydration reactions.

Answer 3

b.) because all of those are polymers and they are synthesized only if their monomer molecules are synthesized through the process of dehydration.

Answer 4

a) or b)

I'm not sure now. You should simply find it on the internet - try "protein synthesis" or "lipid synthesis" etc.

Answer 5

(b)

they are formed together with the production of water molecules which is a dehydration reaction...
