proteins and nucleic acids both play vital roles in the structure and function of cells.

describe the monomers that make up both macromolecules, in detail.

A nucleic acid monomer is a 5-carbon cyclic ring that has a phosphate molecule covalently bonded to the 5’ carbon and a nitrogenous base bonded to its 1’ carbon.

A protein monomer is an amino acid. An amino acid is composed of an alpha carbon bonded to a carbonyl group (COOH), amino groups (NH₂) and a variable side chains that varies among the types of amino acids.

he wants to be heard one more time. he wants to be understood. he needs the truth one more time.

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
