What makes up proteins what are the subunits called?
Proteins are composed of amino acids. These amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds where the -COOH group and the -NH2 group of two consecutive amino acids bond with the loss of a water molecule. The sequence of the amino acids make up the primary structure of the protein.
What is the name of subunit structure of proteins?
The subunits that make up proteins in most living things are twenty different amino acids. Google amino acid at wiki.
What are repeating subunits of DNA and RNA called?
Nucleotides are repeating subunits that make up DNA.
What are the differences between collagen and hemoglobin?
Collagen is a long fibrous structural protein. A molecule of collagen contains three of the helical subunits coiled around each other in what is known as a coiled-coil. Hemoglobin on the other hand is a globular protein that contains a heme group. Four globular subunits make up hemoglobin and each contain an iron in order to hold the oxygen for transport.
What are subunits that make up fat?
Two subunits that make up a fat molecule are glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and fatty acids consist of hydrogen atoms, chains of carbon, and a carboxylic acid group.
What is the name of the two different types of subunits that make up a hemoglobin molecule?
iron and protein
Which subunits makes up a protein?
amino acids
What subunits make up nucleic acids?

The subunits that make up polysaccharides are?
The subunits that make up polysaccharides are sugars, or monosaccharides. An example of a monosaccharide is glucose, which we need for energy.
What makes up proteins what are the subunits called?
Proteins are composed of amino acids. These amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds where the -COOH group and the -NH2 group of two consecutive amino acids bond with the loss of a water molecule. The sequence of the amino acids make up the primary structure of the protein.
An allosteric enzyme made up of protein subunits alternates between active and inactive forms?

What are the subunits that make up nucleic acids?
nucleotides
What are subunits called that make up carbonhydrates?

Viruses are made up of a piece of nucleic acid covered by?
Their RNA or DNA (depending on the virus) is surrounded by a capsid: a protein coat made up of subunits of protein called capsomers
Subunits that make up lipids?
fatty acids and steroids
What three subunits that make up a nucleotide?
The three subunits that make up a nucleotide are:a phosphate groupa 5-carbon sugar(deoxyribose)a nitrogen baseNucleotides are organic molecules that serve as the monomers, or subunits, of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA.
