If a polypeptide contains 9 peptide bonds, how many amino acids does it contain?
A chain of 11 amino acid residues would contain 10 peptide bonds within it.
That depends on the type of protein it will form. Large protein will have longer polypeptide chain with more amino acids, and smaller protein will have shorter chain with less amino acids.
A polypeptide is more than 14 amino acids joined together.
In this case, there will be 10 amino acids.
There is only one start codon (AUG), which codes for the amino acid methionine. Every polypeptide will therefore start with methionine although it may be taken out through protein processing.

They differ because the sequence of the ordered base pairs are different making a unique polypeptide chain in every organism. The amino acids can form lactic acid build up in the chest area because of this, resulting in loss of binancial fluid, brain hemerages, and Torres syndrome (Uncontrollable twitching of the pelvis area)
D & L amino acids are both optical isomers of each other; i.e. they're compounds with the same molecular formula but different spatial arrangements. Every optically active compound has a D- and an L- isomer. They ONLY differ in their ability to rotate plane polarized light in opposite directions.
They are one of the main groups of chemicals which the life on Earth uses. The amino acids are the functional building blocks for every organism.When a specific number of them polymerize (the amino acids bond together), a protein with specific conformation is formed.Every protein has a different function (regulatory - hormones, catalytic - enzymes, structural e.t.c.).The whole life on Earth use proteins - from the viruses, through bacteria, fungi, animals, plants to the human beings and the whole life on Earth uses the same 20 amino acids for their construction.
The 20 amino acids vary in structure by the R-group, otherwise all amino acids are the same in structure. All amino acids have a carboxyl group, an amino group, an R-group, and a hydrogen which are all bonded to a central carbon. It is the R-groups that make the amino acids react in different ways and alter the structure of the protein.
very much no!. RNA is Ribonucleic Acid, including 4 bases (Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and uracil) a ribose sugar and a phosphate sugar. Amino acids comprise of an amino group (NH2+) a Carboxcylic acid group(COOH) and a carbon based R group. The chemicals required for each dont even overlap. Youre getting mixed up with the fact that RNA is used to know what amino acids to make. messenger RNA (mRNA) if created by the cell as a copy of the DNA which says what protein to make. every three bases says one amino acid. The mRNA goes to the ribosome where the mRNA is read, and it attracts the correct transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule there, each holding on to a different amino acid (there are 20 different ones) The amino acids are bound together and all the proteins are happy etc So RNA is just the plans that are read to make the amino acids, and the RNA molecules that help. They are not actually converted into them!
Every living thing contains amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of DNA.
The blood carries the amino acids to the cells.
No, every amino acid has its own structural (molecular) formula.
Start Codon Methionine's code is AUG which is also a start codon causing initiation of translation.
Proteins, large and complex biomolecules, are made of amino acids. The amino acids react together to form longer chains called polypeptides. The so-called primary structure of a protein is determined by the specific amino acid sequence unique to every protein, whereas its secondary structure depends on how the polypeptide chain is coiled. The tertiary structure of a protein is finally how the protein looks in 3D. And if several polypeptides interact, forming an even bigger structure, then the protein is said to have a quaternary structure. There are essential and non-essential amino acids. The non-essential ones are made in the body, whereas the essential amino acids must be found in the diet.
Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins.

Amino acids have 2 functional groups, an a-carboxyl group and an-amino group.
There can only be one amino acid for every codon. Tryptophan and Methionine are the types of amino acids that correspond to codon.
Every amino acid will always contain Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen
There are 20 naturally occurring amino acids that are used in the synthesis of proteins.
Every amino acid will always contain Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen
