What is the difference between amino acid and a protein?
Amino Acid: compound with an amino acid (-NH2) on one end and a carboxyl group (-COOH) on the other end.Protein: macromolecule that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen; needed by the body for growth and repair and to make up enzymes.

What smaller molecules must be bonded together to make proteins?
amino acids are needed to form proteins.
Why does amino acids make up the macromolecule carbohydrate?
amino acide makes peptides to make proteins
What are large molecules made up of small molecules called?
AnswerIt can be a peptide, if it is of medium size, and the biggest is a protein molecule. A large molecule made up of amino acids may also be an enzyme.
What kind of macromolecule is protein?
It is itself a macro molecule. Amino acids make up them
Why is the R group in amino acids?
The R group in an amino acid are what make that amino acid unique.
How do you find the amino acid?
Amino acids make up proteins. During translation of protein synthesis, transfer RNA molecules carry amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosome to be inserted into the protein being made.
Why is the R group in amino acids important?
The R group in an amino acid are what make that amino acid unique.
What smaller molecules make protein molecules?
Smaller molecules called amino acids make protein molecules.
How might one missing nucleotide or the insertion of one additional nucleotide in a DNA strand alter the formation of the translated protein?
Deletion of just one nucleotide in a protein-coding part of a gene will cause a "frameshift mutation." Since the nucleotides are read in groups of three (codons) along the gene, the groupings will change and the protein that results is likely to be completely different.
What are the building block molecules that compose proteins?
Amino acids are the building block of protein molecules. As a protein molecule is synthesized the chain is elongated by the step-wise addition of an amino acid to the growing amine-terminal end.
