No, proteins are polymers of amino acids.
DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides.
Polymers are formed from monomers.
There are 20 (common) amino acids. These are the monomers which form proteins.
Well I think this question may be misphrased. Proteins are mad eup of chians of amino acids. Amino acids are encoded/ made up of nucleotides that are encoded by genes. There are 20 different amino acids in the human body that combine to form hundreds of thousands of proteins. It is not possible to know how many proteins genes produce because not all genes have even been decoded yet. Furthermore, even if all of the genes in the human body had been identified, these genes would encode different sequences of nucleotides, that would then encode for different amino acids, that could then combine to form nearly endless types of proteins.

'Polysaccarides' (in this question) should actually be 'amino acids'. Proteins are polymeric amino acids (20 different possibillities)
Proteins are polymers of amino acids. The monomer of proteins is amino acids. Chains of amino acids are polypeptides and are called proteins if there are more than 20 amino acids in the chain.
Polymers are formed from monomers.
No. Polysaccharides are sugars, amino acids make up polypeptides (proteins).

Normally you can just refer to the polymers just as proteins, but if you want to be specific, you can say polypeptide, thereby excluding amino acids, dipeptides, and oligopeptides. The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
Is the 20 different polysaccharides used to make proteins true or false?

A protein is a chain of amino acids. Polymers are a series of repeated single units, or monomers. In this particular case, amino acid is the monomer and as a chain, it forms protein. Simple enough? -Lys0girl

Proteins are made of 20 amino acids while DNA is made of four nucleotides; Proteins have a greater variety of three dimensional forms than does DNA.
The monomers of proteins are called Amino Acids.
proteins are made out of 20 different amino acids, (like tiny balls make up a collar) depending on the cuantity of each, different types of protein are made. you can have a look at what are proteins on : www.kidshealth.com and type proteins.
