What joining proteins are made into long chains called polypeptides?
Amino acids by (mostly linear) peptidic bonding
What smaller molecules that make up proteins are called?
"amino acids"
What are the chains of smaller molecules that make up proteins called?
Amino acids
What are protein molecules broken down into?
Proteins are broken down firstly into peptides, which are then digested into even smaller units - amino acids.
Protein is a chain of linked smaller molecules called?
Proteins are made from long chains of smaller molecules called amino acids. Amino acids are biologically important organic compounds that are composed of amine and carboxylic acid.
The smaller unit molecules which combine to form proteins and polypeptides are called?
amino acids
What smaller molecules result when proteins are chemically changed by digestion?
The first product of proteins digestion are polypeptides.
What is the chief function of pepsin?
Cleaves proteins into smaller polypeptides
Are polypeptides made of polysaccharides?
No. Polypeptides and polysaccharides are two different types of macromolecules. The first class is commonly called "proteins" and the second is commonly called "sugars." Both are polymers - molecules that are composed of smaller subunits called monomers. Polypeptides ― or proteins ― are composed of monomers called amino acids. In contrast, polysaccharides are composed of monomers called monosaccharides.
What is a molecule consisting of two or more amino acids called?
Proteins are long chains of amino acids. Smaller chains of amino acids are known as polypeptides. (Proteins are still polypeptides).
How do cells get the proteins they need from foods?
enzymes breaks down food proteins into smaller molecules that can be carried by blood
What process will combine smaller molecules together to create a larger one?
Addition and polymerization will combine smaller molecules together to create a larger one.
What joining proteins are made into long chains called polypeptides?
Amino acids by (mostly linear) peptidic bonding
What describes starches fats proteins and DNA?
They are complex molecules made from smaller molecules.
What do you call the smaller molecules which proteins made from?
amino acids
Is it possible for the number of molecules to change as a result of a chemical reaction?
That happens all the time. Smaller molecules combine to form larger molecules; larger molecules break up into smaller molecules.
What converts polypeptides into smaller polypeptides during digestion?
Aminopeptidase & carboxypeptidase
