Proteins are made up of amino acids. The bond between amino acids is called a peptide bond, which occurs between the carbon atom of the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the nitrogen atom of the amino group of another amino acid. Please see the related link to see an illustration of two amino acids bonding to form a peptide bond.

What makes up proteins what are the subunits called?
Proteins are composed of amino acids. These amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds where the -COOH group and the -NH2 group of two consecutive amino acids bond with the loss of a water molecule. The sequence of the amino acids make up the primary structure of the protein.
Explain what distinguishes lipids from other major classes of macromolecules?
Lipids are not soluble in water. improved..>> macromolecules have smaller subunits eg. protein-amino acid, carboyhdrate monosacharide, nucleic acid-nucleotide. unlike all the above examples lipids subunits are fatty acids which do not form covalent bonds with one another, rather they 'aggregrate' together.
A series of hydrophobic side chains will congregate together as a protein folds in an aqueous solution and be stabilized by?
A series of hydrophobic side chains will congregate together as a protein folds in an aqueous solution and be stabilized by Hydrogen Bonds.
Are nucleic acids polymers?
Both are made from smaller subunits that are joined by covalent bonds. In the case of proteins, these subunits are called amino acids. They are joined by special covalent bonds called peptide bonds. In the case of nucleic acids, the subunits are called nucleotides, which are a combination of a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), phosphate group, and one of four possible bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine). The nucleotides are covalently bonded along the "ladder" of the DNA molecule. Another feature of polymers is that the covalent bond that links the subunits (or monomers) is formed by dehydration synthesis, that is, a removal of a water molecule.
Paired bases are held together by weak bonds called?
Hydrogen bonds
What make up proteins what are the subunits called what bonds them together?
proteins are long chains of amino acids
What type of bonds are in a protein?
The atoms present in a protein molecule are bonded to each other by covalent bonds. Added: I think the questioner wants...., A special amide bond called a peptide bond binds the amino acid subunits together and in a folded protein you will get hydrogen bonds, hydrophyllic bonding, hydrophobic bonding and covalent sulfur-sulfur bonding to name several types.
What kind of bond link the monomers in a protein?
peptide bonds chain together the monomers of a protein (ergo called polypeptides).
The amino acids in a protein are held together by a type of chemical bond called a what?
Amino acids are held together by covalent bonds called phosphodiester bonds
How does protein denatured?
It breaks the hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions between different parts of the protein molecule. Proteins are composed of amino acid subunits linked together by peptide bonds—this is called a polypeptide and is also known as the primary structure of a protein. The primary structure interacts with itself (also known as folding) forming hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions with different parts of the same molecule. Heat disrupts the hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions leaving the protein to unfold when it is heated. Since heat is not strong enough to break the peptide bonds between the amino acid subunits, the primary structure remains intact. Once the protein is cooled again, the hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions can reform since they are based on the makeup of the primary structure and it hasn't changed. :) Hope this helps.

The subunits of proteins are?
The subunits of proteins are called amino acids. Amino acid molecules are smaller than protein molecules and are inside of the protein molecules.Amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds where the -COOH group and the -NH2 group of two consecutive amino acids bond with the loss of a water molecule. The sequence of the amino acids make up the primary structure of the protein.Proteins are made of amino acids.
