an amino acid is to a protein. ie starch is made of a chain of glucose with side branching. aa's combine to make a protein, to simplify things

Is Keratin a nucleic acid polymer?
No. It is a polymer polypeptide, which is a protein.
Is nucleotide a lipid carbohydrate or nucleic acid?
is steroid a carbohydrate, protein lipid or nucleic acid
What is the monomer of proteins and nucleic acids?
Monomer of protein = amino acidmonomer of nucleic acid is a nucleotide, which is made up of a sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogen base.
What are the 4 major macromolecules and monomers?
The 4 macomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids,proteins, and nucleic acids. Their monomers are: Carbohydrates- Simple sugar Lipids-Fatty Acid Protein-Amino Acids Nucleic Acid-Nucleotide
The order of the amino acids in a polypeptide chain are determind by the order of nucleotides in the what?
The order of amino acids in a polypeptide chain (protein) is determined by the order of nucleotide triplets in the messenger RNA, or mRNA, chain that was transcribed from the DNA inside the nucleus for that specific protein.
What are the repeating units of proteins?
the repeating units of protein are called amino acids.
Is protein larger in size compared to a polypeptide?
A protein is a polypeptide.
What is the correct order smallest to largest protein - amino acid - polypeptide?
Amino acids---->peptide---->polypeptide--->protein.
Is protein a starch?
No. A protein is a chain of amino acids (a polypeptide). Starch is a carbohydrate (a large number of glucose molecules joined together).
How are codons used in polypeptide formation?
Four 'types' of nucleotide bases - when they are read three-at-a-time - this is considered to be a triplet-codon. Triplet codons are individually related to one specific amino acid, a polypeptide being a short protein.
What do a bunch of amino acids put together make?
While they are derived from Deoxyribose nucleic acid triplets, the thereby derived amino-acid sequences are used to form proteins.
What are the polymers of a protein?
Polypeptide
