Incorrect Question 14 0 1 pts When comparing the subunits of the major organic macromolecules, it can be said that, The reactive atoms that are covalently bound together via condensation always have the same components The disassembly of macromolecules into the subunits requires energy The subunits can be interchanged between the macromolecule types. All subunits have the exact same elements in their core components Assembled subunits forming macromolecules have important non-covalent interactions within themselves and other macromolecules.Explanation / Answer
correct option- Assembled subunits forming macromolecules have important non-covalent interactions within themselves and other macromolecules.
Majority of organic molecules have complex structures and are made up of many subunits. These subunits are joined together by non covalent interactions such as Hydrogen bonding, Vandervall Interactions and Hydrophobic interactions. It is due to these interactions that the subunits interact more with each other and show cooperativity. For example in proteins, hemoglobin has four subunits two alpha and two beta, absence of one subunit makes the protein non-functional. These subunits are joined by non-covalent interactions.
