BIOPOLYMERS

Everyone knows that proteins and nucleic acids perform the most important functions in living cells. These are high-molecular compounds - polymers, consisting of structural units - monomers. Protein monomers are amino acids, and nucleic acid monomers are nucleotides.

Plants and animals are different great variety protein molecules. They perform a wide variety of functions.
in the body. Many proteins perform an enzymatic function. Other proteins are part of the cell membranes of hair, nails, and other formations. Such proteins are called structural. In addition, proteins can perform protective, signaling, energy and transport functions. In proteins, 20 amino acids are usually found, the sequence of connection of which determines the type of protein.

There are few variants of nucleic acids. These include DNA, ribosomal RNA, messenger RNA, and transfer RNA. DNA nucleotides, like the amino acids in proteins, line up
in different order. The structure and type of proteins synthesized in cells depend on this sequence. Messenger RNA removes information from DNA and is sent to the site of protein synthesis on ribosomes. Transfer RNA brings amino acids to the ribosomes.

Thus, the relationship between nucleic acids and proteins manifests itself in the fact that nucleic acids encode and transmit information to the site of protein synthesis and ensure the delivery of amino acids to ribosomes. However, if proteins have different properties and functions depending on their structure, then the functions of nucleic acids are relatively constant.

ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Proteins and fats are high molecular weight organic compounds. A protein molecule is formed a large number amino acids, which include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur atoms. Fats are made up of glycerol and fatty acids. They are insoluble in water, but highly soluble in organic solvents. Fats are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Fats and fat-like substances are usually combined under the general name of lipids. Like carbohydrates, they serve as a source of energy.

The proteins of different cells are not the same, they are specific. However, they have a common property - to coagulate when heated or exposed to ultraviolet rays. Proteins are the main building material any cell: are part of cell membranes, cytoplasm, nucleus and organelles. Many proteins are enzymes. In animals, all types of movement are provided by contractile proteins. Proteins, fats and carbohydrates are involved in the protection of cells and contacts with the environment. Some proteins perform a transport function, attaching and transferring oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Fats, like proteins, perform a number of functions. They are part of cell membranes and thus perform a building function. Fats can accumulate in cells and serve as a spare nutrient. Some fat-like substances are hormones, taking part in the regulation of the physiological functions of the body.
