Oligopeptides are composed of 2 to 20 amino acids. They are shorter than polypeptides, which typically consist of more than 20 amino acids.
No. Polypeptides and polysaccharides are two different types of macromolecules. The first class is commonly called "proteins" and the second is commonly called "sugars." Both are polymers - molecules that are composed of smaller subunits called monomers. Polypeptides ― or proteins ― are composed of monomers called amino acids. In contrast, polysaccharides are composed of monomers called monosaccharides.
Polypeptides are chains of amino acids.
polypeptides are proteins. poteins are composed of amino acids that are liked via peptid bonds, hence the name: poly(a lot of)peptide(peptide bonds).
No, Polypeptides are chains of amino acids and 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.
No, the reverse is true: polypeptides are polymers, made of amino acids (as monomers, i.e. subunits)
Polypeptides join together to make proteins. Proteins are composed of one or more polypeptide chains folded into a specific three-dimensional structure that determines their function in the body.
Amino acids are assembled in ribosomes. Polypeptides are the out products.
Amino acids by (mostly linear) peptidic bonding
Ribosomes are the complexes that help cells during protein translation by joining amino acids together to form polypeptides. Ribosomes are composed of RNA and protein, and they catalyze the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids based on the mRNA sequence.
