What polymer is formed from amino acids found in the human body?

Proteins are polymers formed from amino acids found in the human body. These amino acids are linked together in a specific sequence to form a protein molecule.


What are the proteins of a monomer?

The monomer of proteins are called amino acids.


How many amino acids long is a typical human protein?

100 amino acids long


What is the average number of amino acids in a human protein?

The average number of amino acids in a human protein is around 300 to 400.


Can the human body make all of its own amino acids?

The human body can produce 11 out of the 20 standard amino acids on its own. These are called non-essential amino acids. The other 9 amino acids, known as essential amino acids, must be obtained through the diet.


Is a polypeptide a polymer or monomer?

Collegen is a polymer as it is a (very) large molecule comprised of repeating sub-unitsIt is one of the longest protein strands in the human body and often binds to other collegen molecules forming collagen helices and other helices forming a 'super helix'This helps give collagen it's properties and has extremely varied functions in the cell and extra cellular matrix depending on its arrangement of amino acids


What are subunits of protein?

Amino Acids =]Proteins are the building blocks of the human body, and are made up of smaller molecules called amino acids.


What are non protein amino acids in the human body and their importace?

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins (long chains of amino acids). They get turned into proteins.


Can proteins form polymers?

Yes, proteins are formed from amino acid monomers. The OH group on one end of the amino acid bonds with the hydrogen group on the other end to form a water molecule. Then the peptide bond forms (carbon-nitrogen-carbon)


What is the name of the individual molecules that protein must be broken down into before they can be digested?

I think that perhaps you mean the polypeptides, which is a polymer of many amino acids. The protein is broken down into polypeptides, which are in turn broken down into amino acids - the building blocks of pretty much all of the human body.


What is the monomer for protein?

Proteins are formed from the basic units called as amino acids. There are 20 amino acids in the body of human being. You have over 300 amino acids found in the nature.


How many amino acids could be found in the human body?

There are twenty common protein amino acids in your body, of which half can be formed in the cells. The remainder need to be consumed in our diet, as our body cannot make them, yet they are still vital. There are 2 other amino acids very ocassionally used in proteins (only one in humans) meaning that are 21 different protein amino acids in humans. Some biological pathways use other types of amino acids not found in proteins. There are at least six additional ones found in humans, but it would be difficult to determine an exact number.
