What else can I help you with?
Is nucleic acids the same as amino acids?
No, nucleic acids are molecules that store and transmit genetic information, such as DNA and RNA, while amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids, not nucleic acids.
What do protease break down into?
Protease is an enzyme so it would break down into amino acids. (If you meant protein then the same is true)
How many amino acids are there that make up proteins?
The number of amino acids/protein differ largely and is characteristic for each protein separately. A protein is composed of amino acids, and the function of the protein depends of the type and order of the amino acids. Because amino acids can be arranged in many different combinations, it's possible for your body to make thousands of different kinds of protein from just the same 20 amino acids.The simplest protein of life, ribonuclease, contains 124 amino acids. The "average" protein, though, contains several thousand amino acids, but those several thousand comprised only about 20 different kinds of amino acids.
Whats the difference between an amino acid molecule and a protein molecule?
Amino acids make up proteins. Protein molecules are made of a long chain of three amino acids each linked to its neighbor through a covalent bond. Amino acids are compounds containing an amino group and a carboxylic acid group.
Why is it possible to have thousands of different types of proteins with only 20 amino acids?
The 20 amino acids can be combined in various sequences and lengths to create a wide range of protein structures. Additionally, proteins can fold into complex three-dimensional shapes, further increasing their diversity. The specific sequence and arrangement of amino acids determine the function and properties of each protein.
Are amino acids and proteins the same thing?
No, amino acids are the building blocks that make up proteins. Proteins are large, complex molecules made up of chains of amino acids.
Is nucleic acids the same as amino acids?
No, nucleic acids are molecules that store and transmit genetic information, such as DNA and RNA, while amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids, not nucleic acids.
How are genes and proteins the same?
both are composed of amino acids.
Polymer of a protien?
Normally you can just refer to the polymers just as proteins, but if you want to be specific, you can say polypeptide, thereby excluding amino acids, dipeptides, and oligopeptides. The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
What molecules made of proteins?
Different combinations of the same 20 amino acids.
All of the different proteins in a cell are made from the same 20?
All of the different proteins in a cell are made from the same 20 amino acids. These amino acids are encoded by the genetic information in DNA and are linked together in specific sequences to form different proteins with unique structures and functions. The diversity of proteins in a cell arises from the different sequences and arrangements of these 20 amino acids.
What do all living things use the same make protein?
All living things use the same set of 20 amino acids to make proteins. These amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are linked together in different sequences to form the vast array of proteins found in nature.
How many human amino acids are the same as the chicken amino acids?
Amino acids are chemicals, it doesnt matter from which organism it is, they are chemically the same (for example Glycine is an amino acid, it is the same in any species).What will iffer is, the sequence of amino acids that make proteins (such as Glycine alanine valine tyrosine is a sequence may not be same like phenylalanine serine glutamine aspartate)
How did amino acids fall into the evolutionary theory?
Amino acids are not part of evolutionary theory. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much of the mechanism for evolution. Alleles are different molecular forms of the same gene. This means different alleles could code for the manufacturing of different proteins, or proteins with different functions. Proteins are made of amino acids, which is as close as amino acids get to the theory of evolution. If it were some other molecule then the theory of evolution would still be explaining much the same thing.
What do protease break down into?
Protease is an enzyme so it would break down into amino acids. (If you meant protein then the same is true)

Is a pheromone an amino acid?
No, pheromones are not amino acids. Pheromones are chemical substances produced and released by animals to communicate with others of the same species, while amino acids are the building blocks of proteins in living organisms.
