Is a polypeptide a lipid?
No, polypeptides are not lipids. Polypeptides are large molecules also called proteins; lipids tend to be relatively small molecules with an "ionic" end and a "greasy" end.
What is a molecule consisting of two or more amino acids called?
Proteins are long chains of amino acids. Smaller chains of amino acids are known as polypeptides. (Proteins are still polypeptides).
How many polymers do proteins have?
Proteins, also known as polypeptides, are polymers of individual amino acids (peptides). The number of amino acids in the protein chain varies widely. There are dipeptides (2 amino acids), oligopeptides (with a small number of amino acids beyond 2), and full-scale polypeptides (which typically contain many amino acids).
Polypeptides are assembled from?
Amino acids
Name all proteins?
There are many proteins available for our bodies, and are even divided up in categories. Despite the categories, some proteins are tubulin, collagen, and myosin. For a full list of proteins, try this list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proteins
What are chains of amino acids known as?
They are known as protein chains or polypeptides
What are proteins also called?
Polypeptides.

Polypeptides are chains of amino acids.

Are polypeptides carbohydrates?
No, Polypeptides are chains of amino acids and Proteins

What converts polypeptides into smaller polypeptides during digestion?
Aminopeptidase & carboxypeptidase
What percentage of the human genome actually carries units of hereditary information known as genes coding for polypeptides?
25%
Ribosomes assemble polypeptides?
Amino acids are assembled in ribosomes. Polypeptides are the out products.

There are dipeptides (2 amino acids), oligopeptides (with a small number of amino acids beyond 2), and full-scale polypeptides (which typically contain many amino acids).
How are polypeptides made?
peptones and peptides together form long chains in the form of polypeptides.
Are proteins also peptides?
PRoteins are formed as polypeptides from ribosomes. The polypeptide undergoes biophysical and chemical changes to get 2D and further 3D structure. So proteins in general, are polypeptides that are folded with cetrain stable conformation.
