I search polypeptides at Wikipedia.org, "The World's Encyclopedia" and got the Related Link below.
The first line read...
Peptides (from the Greek πεπτίδια, "small digestibles") are short polymers formed from the linking, in a defined order, of α-amino acids. The link between one amino acid residue and the next is known as an amide bond or a peptide bond.

What is the difference between amino acids and peptides?
amino acids contain an amine and a carboxylic acid
What are the building blocks of life?
Cells are the building blocks of life.
Is a peptide bigger than a protein?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and as such are always smaller than them. No amino acids are the building blocks to protein, so that is like asking if a brick (the amino acid) is bigger than the wall (the protein).
What are the building blocks of triglycerides?
Two building blocks of triglyceride; Glycerol & 3 fatty acids.
What are building blocks often made of?
Building blocks are often made out of many different things. Building blocks are often made of high quality materials such as plastic or different kinds of wood.
Proteins are digested to their building blocks which are called?
peptides which are constructed from amino-acids
What is the difference between amino acids and peptides?
amino acids contain an amine and a carboxylic acid
In what order is protein broken down during digestion?
Polypeptides, peptides, amino acids
How old was brann in building blocks?
He was 12 building blocks old, or 35 in dog-building blocks
Basic building blocks of everything?
the building blocks of life are cells the building blocks of matter are atoms
What are the building blocks of molecules?
Atoms are the building blocks of molecules.
What are the building blocks of life?
Cells are the building blocks of life.

Why is the DNA code referred to as a triplet code?
Because for the purpose of translation into aminoacids, each codon is three nucleotides long. In other words peptides which are the building blocks of proteins get made by translating three nucleotides at a time.
What are the buliding blocks of your bodies?
What are the building blocks of your bodies?The building blocks of are bodies are called cells!
What are building blocks of matter of life-proteins?
The building blocks of life are cells or you may mean that amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
Is building blocks of matter a change?
No. The building blocks of matter are atoms, not a process.
