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.

Are polysaccharides polymers that contain up to 20 different kinds of naturally occurring amino acids?

No. Polysaccharides are sugars, amino acids make up polypeptides (proteins).


DNA most directly determines which are made by a cell a polysaccharides b polypeptides c nucleotides d triglycerides or e fatty acids?

DNA most directly determines the production of polypeptides, which are chains of amino acids that make up proteins. DNA carries the genetic information needed to synthesize proteins through the process of transcription and translation.


What are polysaccharides made by animals?

Carbohydrates, are polysaccharides of glucose, made by animals.


Material of which the building material of cells are made?

Four macro elements that we are all made up of are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Four macromolecules that we are all made up of are polysaccharides, polypeptides, polynucleotides, and fats. Notice fat is not a true polymer it is just a large molecule.


What elements do polysaccharides consist of?

Polysaccharides consist of long chains of monosaccharide units linked together by glycosidic bonds. These monosaccharide units are typically made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms arranged in a specific ratio. Good examples of polysaccharides include starch, cellulose, and glycogen.


How are polypeptides made?

peptones and peptides together form long chains in the form of polypeptides.


What part of the cell are polypeptides made in?

Polypeptides are made in the ribosomes of the cell. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis by translating the information from messenger RNA (mRNA) into amino acid sequences, which eventually form polypeptides.


Are polysaccharides types of proteins?

No, polysaccharides are not types of proteins. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made up of multiple sugar molecules, while proteins are macromolecules made up of amino acids.


Are amino acids are polypeptides?

No, the reverse is true: polypeptides are polymers, made of amino acids (as monomers, i.e. subunits)


What do polysaccharides made of?

Do polysaccharides are formed from fatty acids with single carbon to carbon?
