4. what is the alpha carbon?

5. what is the process of protein synthesis in simple terms? (like from rough er to smooth er to...)

Answer 1

1. A lipoprotein is a substance that consists of fat droplets surrounded by phospholipid molecules in a single layer.They are amphipathic in nature and function to carry cholesterol throughout our body.They are of two types: 1) LDL or low density lipoprotein that is referred to as bad cholesterol and ) HDL or high density lipoprotein taht is refereed to as good cholesterol.

2.Eukaryotic cell possess lysosomes that is not in plant cell.

3.The bond that connects the atom doubly bonded to oxygen and the oxygen atom bearing the alkyl or aryl group in an ester molecule  is called an ester linkage.

4.The alpha carbon refers to the carbon atom in an organic compound that is attached to a functional group.

5.The process of protein synthesis in simple terms is one of the processes by which cells make proteins via two steps i.e transcription and translation.
