Dystrophin is a molecule that holds muscle fibers together. In people with muscular dystrophy, a genetic disease that causes people to lose the ability to walk at a young age, dystrophin molecules never develop.

Bowhead whales can have a specialized layer of blubber up to 30 cm’s thick. This acts as a special insulation that traps the heat their muscles create from movement.

What biomolecule is the blubber primarily made of?

Helicase is an example of a biomolecule that can destroy bonds between DNA strands during DNA replication.

What biomolecule is helicase?

A scientist discovers new life on a distant planet. While watching the alien species live on the planet, scientists begin to notice that in order to hunt this species will attack another smaller species and inject them with some sort of liquid. After a short time, the smaller organism develops a sort of necrosis which is when a small portion of the organism's flesh begins to break down. Soon after necrosis begins the smaller organism dies.

There is a person with Albinism. This individual does not produce melanin. Melanin allows for people to be protected from the sun. Since Albinos do not produce this protein they are prone to getting sunburns.

What inferences are most realistic to make about the biomolecules in this individual's body?
