Proteins are made from long chains of smaller molecules called amino acids. Amino acids are biologically important organic compounds that are composed of amine and carboxylic acid.

Large molecules that are formed by joining smaller organic molecules together?
A polymer. The smaller molecules are called monomers. For example, many glucose molecules (the monomers) linked together make a starch molecule (the polymer). Similarly, many amino acid molecules (the monomers) linked together form a protein molecule (the polymer). For more in formation about polymers, starting at the very beginning, see: http://pslc.ws/macrog/kidsmac/wiap.htm
Why is DNA considered a polymer?
Polymer is a long molecule composed of repeating units called monomers. As DNA consists of adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine repeating, it is called polymer.
What properties do Microspheres and coacervates share with cells?
The structures include microspheres, which are spherical in shape and are composed of many protein molecules that are organized as a membrane, and coacervates, which are collections of droplets that are composed of molecules of diffrent types, including linked amino acids and sugars.
What are three or more molecules of glucose linked together called?
The term for three or more linked subunits is a polymer. The polymer of glucose is starch.Complex carbohydrates. Starch is only one type, cellulose is another.
What is a small molecule that is linked chemically to other amino acids to form proteins?
A protein is made by linking amino acids to amino acids, this string of amino acids is called the primary structure of the protein. If the amino acids are then folded or spiraled into shapes (called a helix or a beta pleated sheet) this is called the secondary structure of the protein. If these helices and sheets are then joined at specific spots (amino acids joining other amino acids) this is called the tertiary structure of the protein. If there are more than one of these tertiary structures bound to each other we call this the quaternary structure (still amino acids bound to amino acids). Sometimes, like with hemoglobin, the subunits making up the quaternary structure of the protein trap other molecules, ions, or similar. These trapped (small molecules) are not chemically bound to the protein but they are necessary for the protein to Carry out its activity (usually as an enzyme or carrier molecule). Each different protein would have a specific ion or molecule that it traps.THiS ANSWER iS TOO LONG...LOL WFT?! NERDZZi NEED SiMPLE ANSWERS YOU MORONZZ!!lol
What is a protein chain of linked smaller molecules called?
amino acids or lipids? Amino acids
What are macromolecules?
A macromolecule is a molecule in which there are many atoms linked together. All polymers are macro molecules,but not all macromolecules are not polymers because a polymer is linked with monomers.

What is macro-molecules?
A molecule containing a very large number of atoms.
What molecules forms protein when linked with covalent bonds?
Amino acids do this.
What are nanopeptides?
Peptides are the molecules of protein linked by peptide bond..it is in nano dimension only........Hence we call it as nanopeptides........
What smaller molecules are fats made up of?
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
What are the subunites of protein?
The subunits of proteins are called amino acids. Amino acid molecules are smaller than protein molecules and are inside of the protein molecules.Amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds where the -COOH group and the -NH2 group of two consecutive amino acids bond with the loss of a water molecule. The sequence of the amino acids make up the primary structure of the protein.There are proteins composed of one long polypeptide chain (which means lots of amino acids linked). There are also proteins, like hemoglobin, which are made up of two or more polypeptide chains, joined together.For example, "tetramer" refers to a protein with four subunits, or four different polypeptide chains.
What is it called when you have a chain of sugur molecules linked together?
wolf gang golf wang
A carbohydrate made of hundreds of molecules liked together is called an?
A carbohydrate made of hundreds of molecules linked together is called a polysaccharide. An example of a polysaccharide is starch.
What do linked atoms form in compounds?
Linked up atoms form matter called a compound
