Best Answer

Single amino acids are monomers, and monomers of amino acids join by peptide bonds to form polypeptide polymers.

A polymer consisting of two monomers is a dimer.

Amino acids are the building blocks of a protein. Fatty acid is involved in formation of fats. Fatty acid and glycerol are two things that makes up a fat molecule.

When amino acids combine, they create proteins.


Is amino acid a basic unit of a sugar molecule?

i don't think they are, amino acids contain something that sugars don't, and glucose (a simple sugar) is not a protein.


What does each amino acid contain?

An amino acid molecule is formed by a primary amino group and a carboxylic acid group substituent on the same carbon atom (the alpha carbon), leaving two coordination links available, one is occupied by a hydrogen and the other by a side chain that gives to the molecule their identity. There is an exception, the amino acid proline that has a secondary amino group.


Is phosphoric acid an amino acid?

Nope. To my knowledge there are only two acidic amino acids: Aspartic acid and glutamic acid.


How does a peptide bond form between two adjacent amino acids?

Condensation reactions result in a peptide bond being formed between two amino acids. The OH- from the carboxylic group of one amino acid, and a hydrogen from the second amino acid's amine group form a water molecule. A peptide bond is created between a carbon of the first amino acid and the nitrogen of the second amino.


How a second amino acid would bond to cysteine in forming the primary strusture of a protein?

A condensation reaction between the acid group of one amino acid and the amino group of another forms a covalent bond between two amino acids. A water molecule is also produced. A new bond formed is called a peptide bond.
