- amino group, carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and variable group (R)
- grouped according to side chains
- 1 group can be hydrophobic
- 1 group can have sides that are hydrophilic
- with a carboxyl group, could have a negative charge
- but would normally have a positive charge
- notice that all amino acids have carboxyl groups and amino groups
- acidic and basic only refer to groups on side chains
- because they are charged, acidic and basic side chains are also hydrophilic

What is the monomer of a protein polymer?
The monomers of proteins are known as amino acids....A further explanation:Do not confuse amino acids with nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are DNA and RNA and are another one of the BIG 4 macromolecules that are needed to survive.The 4 are:Carbohydrates (monomer: monosaccaride)Proteins (monomer: amino acids)Lipids (monomer: fatty acids)Nucleic Acids (monomer: nucleotides)
What is the relationship among amino acids.polypeptides and proteins?
Amino acids are the basic unit of proteins. Amino acids linked together by a peptide bond forms a chain of amino acids called a polypeptide. When the amino acids from different parts of the chain interact with each other and form hydrogen bonds, the polypeptide chain takes on a unique shape, forming a protein.
What are amino acids that cannot be made by metabolism called?
Amino acids that cannot be made by metabolism are called essential amino acids. These amino acids must be obtained through diet.
What monomers make up protiens?
amino acid
What molecules form protiens when linked together with covalent bonds?
Amino acids are the molecules. Dipeptide bonds is the specific name for the covalent bonds.
What are the constituent parts of proteins?
amino acids
Does insulin contain amino acids?
Yes Insulin is proteins or has protein parts in the molecules. Proteins are made up of amino acids.
What parts of the 2 amino acids are involved in dehydration synthesis?
Amino group and carboxilic group

Do enzymes deal with amino acids?
Sort of. If you've got a chain of amino acids, there are enzymes that can fragment that chain, according to their degree of degradation - either you get smaller chain parts or it will be cut down to the single amino acids.
Proteins are made up of monomers called?
The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
What repeating units make up a protein fatty acids peptide acids amino acids carboxylic acids?
They are the amino acids. They are the monomers
Which cell part is directly involved in the bonding of amino acids to form proteins?
The two parts of the ribosomes come together to transform amino acids into protiens.
What are 3 amino acids?
There are 20-22amino acids. You may be refering to the 4 genetic bases. These are Guanine, Adenine, Thymine and Cytosine.
Proteins are formed of building blocks called?
Amino acids held together by peptide bonds.
Monomer of proteins?
Amino acids.
How many acids are their?
amino acids?? 20 amino acids
