What are repeating subunits of DNA and RNA called?
Nucleotides are repeating subunits that make up DNA.
What are hollow tubes made of spherical protein subunits called tubulins?
microtubules
What is the bond type linking the subunits of proteins together called?
-C-C-N- Peptide bond.
What is the meaning of 70S ribosomes in prokaryotes?
70S refers to the rate of sedimentation of the ribosome in a centrifuge. You can almost think of it as a unit of size. The "S" is a unit of measurement called the Svedberg unit. Ribosomes contain two subunits. In prokaryotes, these subunits are 50S (large) and 30S (small). The total ribosome with both subunits is 70S in prokaryotes. (Notice that 30 + 50 = 80 and not 70. Remember this is not size and the rate of sedimentation is less when the subunits are bound then when they are separated.) Eukaryotic cells have 80S ribosomes: 60S (large) and 40S (small) subunits.
What makes up proteins what are the subunits called?
Proteins are composed of amino acids. These 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.
What are the subunits of DNA called?
Purines, Pryimidine and Nucleotide are the subunits of DNA.

What are the subunits of a protine?
The subunits of proteins are called amino acids. We use twenty of these amino acids to make all the proteins the body uses.
