Proteins are made up of amino acids. There are twenty well known amino acids, and two more were recently synthesized at a university in California. Each protein has an unique length and composition of these amino acids, which is how each protein functions differently. The twenty well known amino acids are: Isoleucine Alanine Leucine Asparagine Lysine Aspartate Methionine Cysteine Phenylalanine Glutamate Threonine Glutamine Tryptophan Glycine Valine Proline Serine Tyrosine Arginine Histidine

What are the four macromolecules of life?
The four major macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
What is the purpose of the ribosomes?
Ribosomes are molecules which are present within all active, or living cells. Their purpose is to connect amino acids to each other in order to form polypeptide chains. These are related to DNA structures.
These are the basic building blocks of proteins?
Amino acids
Proteins are made from long chains of?
Amino acids by (mostly linear) peptidic bonding
What is organic compounds composed of amino acids called?
Amino acids contain both the amino (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) groups. Proteins are formed by amino acids.
What is responsible for the assembling of proteins?
RNA assembles amino acids into proteins.
What do chains of amino acids create?
Proteins
What do the ribosomes create?
rRNA and associated proteins creates ribosomes.
Do the body use amino acids to create proteins?
True
What part of a cell assembles proteins at organelles?
Proteins are assembled in ribosomes
What assembles proteins by coded instructions?
Protein synthesis occurs at the ribosomes.
What is tiny and assembles compounds called proteins?
Cytoplasm
What type of RNA assembles the proteins?
ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
Amino acids are the building block of?
proteins..are made when amino acids join togetherproteins
How are lipids and proteins and nucleic acids related to photosynthesis?
Plants use the sugars (carbs) they create during photosynthesis to make proteins.
Why proteins are called as polymers?
Proteins aren't called polymers, the polymers OF proteins are amino acids. Basically, amino acids coming together (creating polymers with the help of polypeptide bonds which forms them together) creates the polymers, which set up to create proteins.
What cell assembles proteins?
All the proteins in the cells are made in ribosomes. After polypeptide synthesis they got matured and folded in ER, and Golgi bodies. There is no specific cells that only assembles proteins. All the cells of our body does it.
