What is the monomer for glycogen?
glucose apha-1-4 and beta 2-6 linked
Which of the following is a polymer a amino acids b monosaccharide c nucleotide d DNA?
DNA is the only polymer in that list. The other 3 options are all individual subunits that could be made into a polymer. Amino acids are the monomers (individual subunits) that up DNA and RNA
Where does surplus amino acids broken?
The primary uses of amino acids are as building blocks for protein and peptide synthesis and as a source of nitrogen for the synthesis of other amino acids. Amino acids considered to be "surplus" will be catabolized meaning surplus amino acids are used as metabolic fuel.
What is the difference between L amino acid and D amino acid?
L and D amino acids are both optical isomers of each other and only differ in their ability to rotate plane polarized light in opposite directions.
How does protein differ chemically from the other 2 energy nutrients?
Proteins contain Amino Acids, which builds new bodily tissues and repairs any tissues that need repairing. Fats and carbohydrates do not build or repair tissues because they do not contain amino acids.
What is the monomer for glycogen?
glucose apha-1-4 and beta 2-6 linked
How are proteins constructed from amino acids?
Like most of the other biological macromolecules, proteins are formed from the linkage of monomers called amino acids.
How proteins differ?
Proteins differ each other in their amino acid composition and the number of amino acids that form it. Not all the proteins are the same, although they are all made up of amino acids. the sequence of amino acids is determined by the mRNA which is transcribed by DNA in the nucleus.
How do amino acids distinguish from each other?
They differ from each other by the cognent that it is connected to.
Are all proteins polymers?
Proteins are polymers of amino acids. Another name for protein is polypeptide. They are made of many (poly = many) amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. (Glycerol and fatty acids are the monomers of lipids)
Organic molecules containing carboxyl groups are?
Amino acids, which are the monomers of protein, other proteins and organic acids, such as citric acid, acetic acid or fatty acid.
How do essential amino acids differ from non-essential amino acids?
"Essential" amino acids are those that are essential in the diet. The body can make the others from simpler compounds. Which amino acids are "essential" depends on the species; they're not the same for humans that they are for, say, cats. Other than that, there's no difference.
Are carbohydrate amino acid?
No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Carbohydrates contain simple sugars (monosaccharides) and polymers of sugars (disaccharides and polysaccharides).
How many kind of monomers of proteins are there?
There are 20 amino acids used to make proteins by all living things. There are a few additional amino acids that some archaebacteria use to make proteins that are not used by other living things. There are many more synthetic amino acids that can be made, but while synthetic proteins can be made with them no living thing uses these additional amino acids.
Where are amino acids in the cell?
Single amino acids are found in the cytoplasm of the cell. They are mainly useful in protein synthesis, although they have other uses.
What is protein broken into?
All nutrients are broken down into their respective monomers in order to be absorbed into the blood stream. The monomers of a protein are amino acids - this is what your body's cells use to build up other proteins.
Can proteins form polymers?
Yes, proteins are formed from amino acid monomers. The OH group on one end of the amino acid bonds with the hydrogen group on the other end to form a water molecule. Then the peptide bond forms (carbon-nitrogen-carbon)
