What else can I help you with?
Are lipids made of chains of amino acid?
No, that's proteins
What is a protein chain of linked smaller molecules called?
amino acids or lipids? Amino acids
Are amino acids example of lipids?
No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are in a different category than are lipids, which can also be classified as fats. Examples of lipids are phospholipids (in cell membranes), steroids, glycerols and fatty acids, and cholesterol. If you want to know more about the role of amino acids in Protein synthesis (because this is why they exist at all--to make protein), then I would look at this presentation: http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/index.asp?objID=AP1302
What are the molecular building blocks of lipids?
amino acids
Where amino acids are joined to made a?
proteins and lipids
Is lipids made up of amino acid?
No, lipids are not made up of amino acids. Lipids are a diverse group of macromolecules that include fats, phospholipids, and steroids, composed mainly of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
Differentiate amino acids from carbohydrates and lipids?
well the main differentiation is this that amino acids are protein,carbohydrates are sugars while lipids are fats that's the main differentiation between these three
What are the final end products for carbohydrates lipids and proteins?
Carbohydrates: Glucose Lipids: Fatty acids and glycerol Proteins: Amino acids
What molecules make up proteins?
amino acids
Some amino acids are essential because lipids cannot be synthesized if they are not present?
Actually, amino acids are not involved in lipid synthesis. Essential amino acids are important for protein synthesis and various metabolic functions in the body. Lipids are synthesized from different building blocks, such as fatty acids and glycerol.
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
Why aren't lipids polymers yet proteins are?
because proteins have amino acids.
