A polymer made of hundreds of amino acid monomers is called an?
A polymer formed of amino acids is a polypeptide (named from the numerous peptide bonds in the chain; one peptide bond links two amino acids). Two amino acids joined form a dipeptide, hundreds of amino acids form a polypeptide.
What kind of bonds join the amino acids in a polypeptide chain?
Well! Polypeptides are chain of amino-acids better known as proteins. Those amino-acids are join together by peptide bonds. Peptide bonds form when two amino-acids undego the process of condensation reaction, or dehydration synthesis where a carboxyl group of one amino-acid reacts with the amino group of another amino acid releasing water.
What is the end product of proteins?
amino acids
What are chemical units that join to make proteins?
protein are compound fromed by amino acids, arranged in a linear chain and folded into a globular form. The amino acid have carboxyl group and hydroxyl group in their structure, the two amino acids are joined by peptide bonds
What two amino acids form when they join?
Two amino acids that join form a dipeptide.
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
A polymer made of hundreds of amino acid monomers is called an?
A polymer formed of amino acids is a polypeptide (named from the numerous peptide bonds in the chain; one peptide bond links two amino acids). Two amino acids joined form a dipeptide, hundreds of amino acids form a polypeptide.
What do protein consist of?
Proteins are polymers made up of amino acid monomers. Any chain of two or more amino acids is called a peptide. When many amino acids are joined together, the result is called a polypeptide, or a protein.
Can 2 amino acids form a protein?
No. A protein is defined by its function, as much as its structure. A chain of two amino acids would have no protein-like functions. The smallest known protein is a chain of 20 amino acids, but most have many more, and sometimes consist of multiple chains of amino acids.
What kind of bonds join the amino acids in a polypeptide chain?
Well! Polypeptides are chain of amino-acids better known as proteins. Those amino-acids are join together by peptide bonds. Peptide bonds form when two amino-acids undego the process of condensation reaction, or dehydration synthesis where a carboxyl group of one amino-acid reacts with the amino group of another amino acid releasing water.
What are the names for the monomers and polymers of nucleic acids?
monomer = amino acidpolymer = polypeptide (= polypeptide chain)A monomer is one unit in a chain of repeating units. Amino acids are assembled in cells into chains called polypeptides.A protein may consist of just one polypeptide, or more than one. For example, human growth hormone has only one chain, but hemoglobin has four.
What is polypeptide?
The official definition of a polypeptide is a linear organic polymer consisting of a large number of amino-acid residues bonded together in a chain, forming part of (or the whole of) a protein molecule. (a string of amino acids)
What is the end product of proteins?
amino acids
What happens to the two amino acids carried by the two tRNA's inside a ribosome?
The two amino acids carried by the two tRNA's inside a ribosome, bind togather with a peptide bond to elongate the protein chain.
What are chemical units that join to make proteins?
protein are compound fromed by amino acids, arranged in a linear chain and folded into a globular form. The amino acid have carboxyl group and hydroxyl group in their structure, the two amino acids are joined by peptide bonds
What is the bonding between the two amino acids in the ribosome called?
Bonds that connect amino acids are called peptide bonds.
Which type of bond is formed between two amino acids in a peptide chain?
A peptide bond
