Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Difference between protein and carbohydrates needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Protein − proteins are composed of the different types of amino acids and they are bonded together with the help of the peptide bonds.
Carbohydrate − carbohydrate is mainly composed of carbon oxygen and hydrogen. The glycosidic linkage present in different types of carbohydrates.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The structure and monomer and linkage are different in proteins and carbohydrates.
Explanation of Solution
Property | Protein | Carbohydrate |
Basic component | Protein is composed of amino acids. | Carbohydrate contains carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. |
Amino, carboxylic, and side chain. | ||
Linkage | Peptide linkage | Glycosidic linkage |
Class | Fibrous, globular | Monosaccharide, di, tri, and polysaccharide. |
There is the main difference between protein and carbohydrate-
Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketones while proteins are
Proteins have peptide linkage, carbohydrates on the other hand have glycosidic linkages in higher forms.
