Amino Acids and Proteins


What are the building blocks of the enzyme catalase?

The building blocks of the enzyme catalase are amino acids. These amino acids are arranged in a specific sequence to form the catalase protein, which catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.


What are the buliding blocks of proteins?

Amino acids make up all proteins. The human body can make most amino acids, but the "essential" amino acids must be take in in as part of the diet for normal body function. Protein synthesis takes place in the ribosomes and is directed by a cell's DNA.


How are amino acids different from fatty acids?

Short Answer is: fatty acids lack Nitrogen atoms. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. They have the functional groups carboxyl (COOH) and amine (H2N). Fatty acids or LIPIDS - [fats from animals, oils from plants] - are the building blocks of triglycerides. They are made of of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and DO NOT contain nitrogen. They have the functional groups carbonyl (HCO) and carboxyl (COOH).


Are simple sugar and amino acids needed for synthesis of larger molecules?

Yes, simple sugars (such as glucose) are needed for the synthesis of larger molecules like glycogen and triglycerides, while amino acids are required for synthesizing proteins. Both simple sugars and amino acids serve as building blocks for the construction of larger molecules in the body.

What is nitrogen-containing building blocks of proteins?

Amino acids are the nitrogen-containing building blocks of proteins. They are essential for the synthesis of proteins in living organisms.


What the identity of the building blocks required to synthesis proteins in an animal cell?

The building blocks required to synthesize proteins in an animal cell are amino acids. These amino acids are linked together in a specific sequence dictated by the messenger RNA (mRNA) during the process of protein synthesis.


Why do you think the process by which amino acids from proteins is called protein syntheses?

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. When proteins are formed, by means of ribosomes and the building blocks, it makes sense that the process is called protein synthesis. It is the formation of protein.

What metabolic processes takes place at ribosomes?

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, a key metabolic process in cells. They read messenger RNA (mRNA) and translate the genetic code into specific sequences of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. This process occurs in two main stages: translation initiation, elongation, and termination.


Which nucleotides build proteins?

No, nucleotides ar e the building blocks for nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA. The building blocks for proteins are amino acids.

Fatty acids are the building blocks of Lipids (fats). In more detail, the molecular building blocks of a fat are one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acids.
