What name is given to the building blocks that make up protein as small units that combine together to make up long chains?
Amino acids
What large molecules are unable to cross the plasma membrane?
A process in which some substance are too large to pass through the membrane is endocytosis
What are small bodies that serve as the site of protein synthesis in cells called?
The small bodies (sometimes called organelles) where proteins are synthesized are ribosomes.At a ribosome, amino acids are assembled into chains called polypeptides.Strictly, the protein is not synthesized at the ribosome, although people often talk that way. This is because what leaves the ribosome is the completed polypeptide chain, which then has to coil, fold, and maybe even combine with one or more other polypeptide chains to form the functional molecule that is the protein.
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 are protein polymers constructed from?
Amino Acid
What name is given to the building blocks that make up protein as small units that combine together to make up long chains?
Amino acids
Where products are formed at the ribosome in a eukaryotic cell?
Polypeptides (chains of amino acids) are formed at ribosomes.These polypeptides subsequently form proteins. Some proteins have a single polypeptide chain; some have more than one. "Protein" is the term for the physiologically active molecule. After leaving the ribosome, each chain must coil and fold into the appropriate shape (and, if necessary, combine with one or more other chains) before the finished protein is formed.
How many polypeptide chains are in a protein?
There is one polypeptide chain in a single protein chain. Polypeptides refer to short protein chains - for example insulin is a 53 amino acid protein and is considered a large polypeptide. Complex multi-component [strand] protein coalescences exist - each uniquely identified component protein strand is called - of course - a subunit: two subunits is called a dimer, three subunits is called a trimer, four is a tetramer etc. A Protein is a string of Pearls {Amino Acids} of which [out of the quadrillion possible] there are ONLY Twenty Biologically Active Types ( with two, sometimes three, more reserved for special occasions ). A common example of a biological multi-strand protein grouping is: 4 strands will combine thusly - 2 strands of one type and 2 strands of another type.
What are chains of amino acids known as?
They are known as protein chains or polypeptides
What reaction is involved in the action of meat tenderizer that contain papain?
Papain cuts the protein chains in the fibrils and also in the connective tissue, disrupting the structural integrity of the muscle fiber, and tenderizing the meat.
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 is made from chains of amino acids?
protein
What are crickets made out of?
Protein chains, and chitin! :)
What are long chains of amino acids known as?
protein
What large molecules are unable to cross the plasma membrane?
A process in which some substance are too large to pass through the membrane is endocytosis
