Is a polypeptide a carbohydrate?
No, polypeptides are not carbohydrates. They are amino acids.
Are carbohydrate amino acid?
No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Carbohydrates contain simple sugars (monosaccharides) and polymers of sugars (disaccharides and polysaccharides).
Name the polymer of carbohydrates proteins lipids and nucleic acid?
Carbohydrates: starch Lipids: Glycerol Proteins: polypeptides nucleic acid: nucleotides
Are carbohydrates proteins and DNA all polymers?
polymers are a type of carbohydrate, but DNA is a type of nucleic acid and polypeptides are proteins
Are monosaccharides amino acids?
No. Monosaccharides are the most simple carbohydrates. Amino acids are the molecules that string together to make polypeptides and ultimately proteins.
What are Polypeptides are assembled from?
Polypeptides are chains of amino acids.
What converts polypeptides into smaller polypeptides during digestion?
Aminopeptidase & carboxypeptidase
What are four classes of polymers found in living things?
They are Nucleic acid - from cells, Proteins - translated from genes, lipids - from proteins and carbohydrates - from proteins.
Ribosomes assemble polypeptides?
Amino acids are assembled in ribosomes. Polypeptides are the out products.
What class of nutrients consists of long chains of amino acids?
Carbohydrates, like starch and cellulose, are long chained glucose polymeres.
How are polypeptides made?
peptones and peptides together form long chains in the form of polypeptides.
Why are proteins and carbohydrates polymers-?
It depends on the context. Colloquially, proteins and carbohydrates mean the polymers (polypeptides and polysaccharides) because there is no need to address the monomers - we eat the polymers. However, while studying Biochemistry, it is not sufficient to say just protein or carbohydrate. You would need to specify if your talking about a monomer or a polymer and what type.
