An amino acid links with another amino acid through a condensation reaction to form a peptide bond. This process continues until a polypeptide chain is formed.

What is formed when 5 amino acids are joined together?

When five amino acids are joined together, a molecule called a peptide is formed. Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. As the chain grows longer, it becomes a polypeptide.


What do you call a chain of 25 amino acids?

a chain of 25 amino acids can be called a peptide chain ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two or united amino acids form a *dipeptide* Three a *tripeptide* Ten or more a *polypeptide* More than 50 *protine* Therefore a chain of 25 amino acids is a polypeptide :D


Building block unit of a polypeptide chain?

The building block unit of a polypeptide chain is an amino acid. Amino acids are organic compounds containing an amine group and a carboxylic acid group, along with a side chain that is specific to each amino acid. Multiple amino acids are linked together via peptide bonds to form a polypeptide chain.


When amino acids are joined together to form a polypeptide chain a waste molecule is given off as a result of this chemical reaction What is this waste molecule?

The waste molecule released when amino acids are joined together to form a polypeptide chain is water. This chemical reaction is known as a dehydration synthesis reaction, where a water molecule is removed as the amino acids are linked together.


What chemical compounds is formed when the four amino acids are joined?

protein (or polypeptide).


A long chain of many amino acids is called a?

Polypeptides are chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.


Is A polypeptide is a sequence of proteins or amino acids?

A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. It is not a sequence of proteins, but rather a precursor to protein formation. When a polypeptide chain folds into a specific structure, it becomes a functional protein.


Are Amino Acids joined during translation?

No, amino acids are joined together to form a protein during the process of translation. Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries the specific amino acids to the ribosome where they are joined together in the correct order according to the mRNA sequence. This forms a polypeptide chain which then folds into a functional protein.


Is polypeptide an amino acid?

No, a polypeptide is not an amino acid. A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are the individual units that make up a polypeptide chain.


What can be used to make any polypeptide?

All polypeptides are made from amino acids joined together by peptide bonds.


How many strings of amino acids dose a polypeptide consist of?

a polypeptide is ten or more amino acids bonded together


How many amino acids will be in the first amino acid in every growing polypeptide?

The first amino acid in a growing polypeptide chain is usually methionine when translation initiates in eukaryotes, and formylmethionine in prokaryotes. Therefore, there will be one amino acid in the first position of every growing polypeptide chain.
