an amino acid is a monomer.. it joins together to form a dipeptide.. which joins together to form a polypeptide
polypeptide - otherwise known as a polymer
Polymer: DNA, Monomer: nucleotides Polymer: Proteins, Monomer: amino acids Polymer: Polysaccharides, Monomer: monosaccharides
The monomer is the individual amino acid following the amino acid assignation (NH2CHCOOHR) where the R group determines which amino acid it is - and is the variable unit.

Pectinase is an amino acid polymer, aka a protein.
proteins can be considered to be polymer of amino acids

The monomers of proteins are known as amino acids....A further explanation:Do not confuse amino acids with nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are DNA and RNA and are another one of the BIG 4 macromolecules that are needed to survive.The 4 are:Carbohydrates (monomer: monosaccaride)Proteins (monomer: amino acids)Lipids (monomer: fatty acids)Nucleic Acids (monomer: nucleotides)
Enzymes are a type of protein, which are amino acid polymers.
No, keratin is a polymer, not a monomer. It is a protein made up of long chains of repeating amino acid units.
Definitely a polymer. Protein is made of many monomers of amino acids.
No, cellulose is not a monomer for amino acids to form a polymer. Cellulose is a polysaccharide composed of glucose monomers, while amino acids are the monomers of proteins, which are formed by peptide bonds. The proper pairing for cellulose would be glucose monomers, while amino acids would pair to form proteins.
DNA is a polymer made up of nucleotides, which are the monomer units containing a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Amino acids are the monomer units that make up proteins, while monosaccharides are the monomer units that make up carbohydrates.
