What macromolecule makes up muscle?
Actin and Myosin make up muscle cells and are mainly made up of the macromolecule protein. Proteins are the most diverse and complex molecules that exist in living organisms. Proteins are made up of amino acids which are the building blocks of muscle within the body.
Explain why proteins are considered polymers but lipids are not?
Proteins are made of amino acid chains. The repitition closely resembles the repeating unit, the monomer, from polymers. Lipids are made of trigyclerides and fatty acids, much smaller molecules than the protein, which is a macromolecule.
Is a amino acid a protein?
Answer 1The 20 amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.Answer 2You might consider it a protein because it makes up a protein, but it is not actually a protein.
What is an organic molecule that contains a carboxxl and an amino group and that makes up proteins a protein monomer?
an amino acid
Is a protein polymer or monomer?
Definitely a polymer. Protein is made of many monomers of amino acids.
What is the monomer of proteins and nucleic acids?
Monomer of protein = amino acidmonomer of nucleic acid is a nucleotide, which is made up of a sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogen base.
What monomer makes up enzyme?
amino acids make proteins and an enzyme is a protein so......
What is an organic molecule that conatains a carboxyl and an amino group that make up proteins and is a protein monomer?
You are describing an amino acid.
Which is the monomer that makes up a protein polymer?
The polymers of proteins are called polypeptides. The building blocks or monomers of each polypeptide is composed of amino acids. There are only 20 amino acids, though long chains ensure diversity.
What compound makes proteins?
Amino Acids are small monomers of proteins that make protein up.
Are proteins a compound?
Yes protein is a complex biomolecule. They have elements such as C, H, O, N and S and known as organic compounds. Proteins are build up by the monomer struture called amino acids.
The monomer that makes up glutose starch and cellulose is the monasaccharide?
The monomer that makes up glycogen starch and cellulose is the monasaccharide?
What monomer makes up protein?
Amino acid monomers make up a polypeptide chain which folds into it's particular shape, based on amino acid sequences, to make a protein
What polymer makes up the macromolecules protein?
Proteins are made up of amino acids. They form long chains.
Which monomer makes up a polypetide?
Amino acids are the basic monomer that forms polypeptides.
