In Protein biochemistry some proteins are made of more than one unit of the same molecule (or similar molecules) - i.e. Actin and Myosin (muscle proteins). It is said that their tertiary structure is the individual subunit, however they also have a quaternary strucure which is the structure formed when many subunits link up. A single subunit in this case is then a protein that has formed its final, folded tertiary structure but which is not part of a larger strcuture.

What is the subunit of haemoglobin?
A subunit of haemoglobin is the Heme Group.
What is a subunit of a carohydrate?
the subunit of monosaccharide is glucose
Which is NOT a smaller subunit of a nucleotide?
Glycerol is not a subunit of nucleotides. Glycerol is a subunit of triglycerides and phospholipids (types of lipids).
What is the subunit of a ribosome holds onto the mRNA strand?
The ribosomal subunit of a ribosome holds onto the mRNA strand
Subunit that makes up fat?
The subunit that makes up fat is called triglyceride.
What kind of organic macromolecules not have a single kind of monomer subunit?
lipids
What is the subunit of Decibel?
The bell is a large unit, so a subunit, a decibel, is usually used. There is no subunit of decibel.

The subunit that makes up fat is called triglyceride.
What is a subunit of a nucleic acid?
The subunit of a nucleic acid are nucleotides.
Why does streptomycin kill the bacteria and not us?
Streptomycin binds to bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and inhibits protein production by the bacteria. Human beings are are not affected because our ribosomes have a 40S subunit and a 60S subunit, no 30S subunit.
Which kind of macromolecules does not have a single kind of monomer subunit?
They are the lipids. They have glycerols and fatty acids
What is the subunit of a kindey that pruifies blood and restores solute and water balance?
The subunit of the kidney is called the nephron.
What is a DNA subunit?
A nucleotide.
