There are nine essential amino acids. A protein is considered to be complete if it contains all nine of these amino acids.

The number of amino acids/protein differ largely and is characteristic for each protein separately. A protein is composed of amino acids, and the function of the protein depends of the type and order of the amino acids. Because amino acids can be arranged in many different combinations, it's possible for your body to make thousands of different kinds of protein from just the same 20 amino acids.The simplest protein of life, ribonuclease, contains 124 amino acids. The "average" protein, though, contains several thousand amino acids, but those several thousand comprised only about 20 different kinds of amino acids.
The term "complete protein" refers to amino acids, the building blocks of protein. A protein must contain all nine of these essential amino acids in roughly equal amounts.
It would take 19 peptide bonds to make a protein of 20 amino acids.

A protein is a chain of amino acids. Small chains of amino acids are called polypeptides. If the chain is over 20 amino acids long, it is called a protein.

100 amino acids long
There is a great degree of variability in the number of amino acids per protein. An answer to another question on WikiAnswers lists the shortest protein as 8 amino acids. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the longest protein found in a sequenced genome is a "parallel beta-helix repeat-containing protein" in the organism Chlorobium chlorochromatii, this protein is 36,805 amino acids long.A protein may consist of as many as 5,000 amino acid molecules.
Yes. Enzymes are made of protein basically and protein is made from many amino acids.
This would be called a protein if there are many amino acids chained together.
There are not any amino acids in glucoe because glucose is not a protein.
No. A protein is defined by its function, as much as its structure. A chain of two amino acids would have no protein-like functions. The smallest known protein is a chain of 20 amino acids, but most have many more, and sometimes consist of multiple chains of amino acids.
