Amino acids are monomers of?

Amino acids ARE monomers- of Proteins: a polymer. Elements C,H,O,N and sometimes s and p make it up..


What molecule would be attached to other monomers by a peptide bond?

Amino acids are the monomers that are attached to one another by peptide bonds to form a protein molecule.


How do amino acids distinguish from each other?

They differ from each other by the cognent that it is connected to.


What is the monomer and polymer of proteins?

The monomer of proteins are amino acids, which are linked together through peptide bonds to form a polymer called polypeptide chains. These polypeptide chains can further fold and interact with each other to form the final protein structure.


Are all proteins polymers?

Proteins are polymers of amino acids. Another name for protein is polypeptide. They are made of many (poly = many) amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. (Glycerol and fatty acids are the monomers of lipids)


How do essential amino acids differ from non-essential amino acids?

"Essential" amino acids are those that are essential in the diet. The body can make the others from simpler compounds. Which amino acids are "essential" depends on the species; they're not the same for humans that they are for, say, cats. Other than that, there's no difference.


Are carbohydrate amino acid?

No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Carbohydrates contain simple sugars (monosaccharides) and polymers of sugars (disaccharides and polysaccharides).


How many kind of monomers of proteins are there?

There are 20 amino acids used to make proteins by all living things. There are a few additional amino acids that some archaebacteria use to make proteins that are not used by other living things. There are many more synthetic amino acids that can be made, but while synthetic proteins can be made with them no living thing uses these additional amino acids.


Where are amino acids in the cell?

Single amino acids are found in the cytoplasm of the cell. They are mainly useful in protein synthesis, although they have other uses.


What is protein broken into?

All nutrients are broken down into their respective monomers in order to be absorbed into the blood stream. The monomers of a protein are amino acids - this is what your body's cells use to build up other proteins.


How are the basic building blocks in amino acids separated?

Amino acids are the basic building blocks. I think the question that is supposed to be asked is "How are the basic building blocks in proteins separated?".Amino acids are the building blocks, monomers, of proteins, polymers. Any monomers in any nutrient are broken apart through hydrolysis reactions. In the process, a water molecule is split and an oxygen and a hydroxide "cap" the ends of the strand.


How proteins differ?

Proteins differ each other in their amino acid composition and the number of amino acids that form it. Not all the proteins are the same, although they are all made up of amino acids. the sequence of amino acids is determined by the mRNA which is transcribed by DNA in the nucleus.
