What are the names of the subunits that make up protein?
Amino acids are the subunits that make up proteins.
Are nucleic acids polymers?
Both are made from smaller subunits that are joined by covalent bonds. In the case of proteins, these subunits are called amino acids. They are joined by special covalent bonds called peptide bonds. In the case of nucleic acids, the subunits are called nucleotides, which are a combination of a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), phosphate group, and one of four possible bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine). The nucleotides are covalently bonded along the "ladder" of the DNA molecule. Another feature of polymers is that the covalent bond that links the subunits (or monomers) is formed by dehydration synthesis, that is, a removal of a water molecule.
What are repeating subunits of DNA and RNA called?
Nucleotides are repeating subunits that make up DNA.
What makes up proteins what are the subunits called?
Proteins are composed of amino acids. These amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds where the -COOH group and the -NH2 group of two consecutive amino acids bond with the loss of a water molecule. The sequence of the amino acids make up the primary structure of the protein.
What to many monomers make up when they are linked together?
monomers are made up of small molecules which join together to make polymers
What is a large molecule that is make up of identical or similar subunits linked together?
it is called polymers
Are compounds that have repeating subunits?
Yes, these are the polymers.
Does protein has polymers with many subunits?
Proteins are not polymers.
Subunits in carbohydrates?
The subunits (or monomers) of carbohydrates are monosaccharides and disaccharides. The polymers (the products of these linked subunits) are starches and polysaccharides.
Sentence with ploymers?
A sentence with the word polymers would be: Polymers are made from repeated subunits.
Does glucose form polymers with many subunits?
Yes.
Large organic molecules that are synthesized from multiple subunits are?
Molecules that are synthesised from multiple subunits are known as polymers. The subunits are known as monomers. An example of a polymer is a protein, which is made up of amino acid subunits (monomers). A large organic molecule, usually created by polymerisation of monomers is known as a macromolecule. This includes nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates.
What subunits make up nucleic acids?
The subunits making up nucleic acids are nucleotides
How many subunits does glucose have?
It has only one. We refer to subunits when we talk about polymers, which long molecules made up of joined monomers, rather like a necklace made of many beads. The beads are the subunits. Glucose is not a polymer, it is a monomer. Amylose, one of the constituents of starch,is made of at least a thousand glucose subunits.
What subunits make up a starch?
carbohydrates dna subunits are nucleic acids. Nucleic acid subunits are nucleotides.
The subunits that make up polysaccharides are?
The subunits that make up polysaccharides are sugars, or monosaccharides. An example of a monosaccharide is glucose, which we need for energy.
What are the names of the subunits that make up protein?
Amino acids are the subunits that make up proteins.
