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.
Did Nucleic acids are the small organic molecules containing an amine group and a carboxyl group these are the monomers used to form proteins?
Amino acids are the monomers of proteins.
Large molecules that are formed by joining smaller organic molecules together?
A polymer. The smaller molecules are called monomers. For example, many glucose molecules (the monomers) linked together make a starch molecule (the polymer). Similarly, many amino acid molecules (the monomers) linked together form a protein molecule (the polymer). For more in formation about polymers, starting at the very beginning, see: http://pslc.ws/macrog/kidsmac/wiap.htm
What is the process in which alkene monomers join to form chains?
Addition polymerization which forms only polymer as the single product
What is the name for a reaction that links monomers to form a food chain?
Dehydration synthesis is the name for a reaction that links monomers to form a chain.
What types of bonds and monomers form proteins?
The monomers are amino acids and the bonds are called peptide bonds.
How many different kinds of monomers are there in proteins?
There are 20 (common) amino acids. These are the monomers which form proteins.
What mean polymerise?
Polymers are chemical substances which are made up from smaller units, called monomers. The reaction of joining these monomers to form this larger unit is called polymerisation. (monomers polymerise into polymers). The subunits, or polymers, are typical of the chemical substances. For example, the monomers of proteins are amino acids, monomers of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides. The reaction itself, by what these monomers are joining together, is a dehydration or condensation reaction.
What is the basic structure of a macromolecules?
It is called a monomer. Monomers together form polymer.
What is the process by which monomers link together to form polymers?
That's called polymerization.
Hoe are proteins made?
proteins are the biomolecules which are polymers. polymers are the substances formed by the combination of many monomers the monomers of the proteins are amino acids. amino acids are the substaces which contains acid and amine group in them. amino acids are combined together by peptide bonds to form the protein.
Do plants store carbohydrates in the form of amino acids?
No, keep your proteins and carbohydrates separate. Amino acids are the monomers of protein molecules. Proteins are not used for energy, though due to their wide variety of functions, proteins are involved in the energy utilization process. Plants form glucose, carbohydrate monomers or monosaccharides through photosynthesis. They then bind together those glucose monomers into a polymer as starch or cellulose.
when monomers are joined together what do they form?
Monomers joined together make a polymer.
Small unit that can join together with other small units to form a polymer?
Monomers are joined together to form polymers, for example, proteins are a polymer, it's monomer is amino acids, and they are linked by peptide bonds to form a protein
