Is DNA and RNA an example of fibrous protein?
Not at all. DNA and Rna are chains of nucleic acids, while proteins are chains of amino acids. 'Fibrous' is but one type of protein.
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).
What types of bonds form chains of amino acids in a protein?
peptide bond
What type of organic molecules are composed of chains of amino acids?
Lipids
What molecule is built of amino acids?
Polypeptide chains, commonly called proteins
What breaks down protein into amino acids?
Protease in general. Pepsin in the stomach and trypsin in the small intestine in mammals break down protein into polypeptide chains and erepsin in the small intestine break down polypeptide chains into amino acids.
What is chains of amino acids?
protein
What is RNA that attaches amino acids to protein chains being made at ribosomes?
mRNA attaches the amino acids to protein chains in the ribosome.
What are chains of amino acids known as?
They are known as protein chains or polypeptides
What is made from chains of amino acids?
protein
What are long chains of amino acids known as?
protein

What are protein composed of?
amino acid chains
Protein is absorbed in the bloodstream as amino acids?
Correct. The amino acid molecules are absorbed and allowed to pass to the bloodstream.
A building block of a protein?
Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids
What make up protein chains?
It's pretty easy it's acids
