What molecules make proteins when linked together with covalent bonds?

Amino acids are the molecules that make up proteins when linked together by covalent peptide bonds. These amino acids are joined through a condensation reaction that forms these covalent bonds between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another.

Amino acids are monomers used to build what?

A monomer is a small molecule that can easily bind to others. Amino acids are monomers, because they bond together to form proteins, which are polymers. Another example of a monomer is glucose, but it can bind to form polymers like cellulose.


What are some non examples of a protein?

Water, sugar, and lipids are examples of non-proteins. These molecules do not contain the characteristic amino acid building blocks that make up proteins.


What types of molecules are used for the synthesis of a enzyme?

DNA is transcriped into messenger RNA which is then translated into aminoacids and linked together by ribossomes and tRNA to form peptides, which joined together make proteins. Most enzymes are proteins and those are basically the necessary molecules needed in order to make them.

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.


What molecules do amino acids make up?

All proteins contain amino acids as part of their primary structure. For some examples: insulin, glucagon, collagen. There are other biological molecules that use amino acids such as the biopolymer peptidoglycan found in bacteria cell walls.
