Appearance. A taproot has a main root, similar in appearance to a carrot, which is also a taproot. In most cases, smaller, auxiliary roots grow laterally all along the main taproot. A fibrous root system is a mass of small roots, with an appearance of a mass of fibers. It can resemble a bird's nest or a ball of yarn. The roots are typically only a few inches long and branch frequently, similar to the canopy of a tree.
Fibrous vs Globular Proteins. Proteins are biological compounds that are composed of one or more polypeptide chains. Each polypeptide chain is made up of amino acids bound together by peptide bonds. Thus, the functional and structural unit of protein is amino acid. Globular proteins are water soluble, whereas fibrous proteins are generally water insoluble. â¢ Fibrous proteins involve in structural functions such as providing support and protection while globular proteins are responsible for certain metabolic functions such as catalysis, transport, and regulation.
