What is the monomer and polymer of proteins?
The basic monomer for proteins is the amino acids.
Are proteins compounds or mixtures?
Proteins are polymers made bonding a large number of monomers. These monomers are amino acids. So protein are compounds.
Why are proteins and carbohydrates polymers-?
It depends on the context. Colloquially, proteins and carbohydrates mean the polymers (polypeptides and polysaccharides) because there is no need to address the monomers - we eat the polymers. However, while studying Biochemistry, it is not sufficient to say just protein or carbohydrate. You would need to specify if your talking about a monomer or a polymer and what type.
Why are Nucleic acids proteins and other large biological molecules are known as polymers?
Because they have large collection of monomers and the monomers linked each other by bond.
What is the term for the building block of polymers?
Monomers
What are the polymers found in protein?
Proteins are polymers. The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
Why are proteins like polymers?
Proteins are like polymers because they are made up by amino acids, which are monomers
What is the monomer and polymer of proteins?
The basic monomer for proteins is the amino acids.
Are proteins compounds or mixtures?
Proteins are polymers made bonding a large number of monomers. These monomers are amino acids. So protein are compounds.
What are natural organic polymers whose monomers are amino acids?
proteins
Proteins are polymers of molecules called what?
Amino acids are the monomers of the macromolecule protein
What 2 polymers make up amino acids?
Amino acids are monomers of proteins.
Hoe are proteins made?
proteins are the biomolecules which are polymers. polymers are the substances formed by the combination of many monomers the monomers of the proteins are amino acids. amino acids are the substaces which contains acid and amine group in them. amino acids are combined together by peptide bonds to form the protein.
Why are proteins and carbohydrates polymers-?
It depends on the context. Colloquially, proteins and carbohydrates mean the polymers (polypeptides and polysaccharides) because there is no need to address the monomers - we eat the polymers. However, while studying Biochemistry, it is not sufficient to say just protein or carbohydrate. You would need to specify if your talking about a monomer or a polymer and what type.
Proteins are made up of what smaller pieces?
Proteins are polymers made up of individual monomers called amino acids.
What mean polymerise?
Polymers are chemical substances which are made up from smaller units, called monomers. The reaction of joining these monomers to form this larger unit is called polymerisation. (monomers polymerise into polymers). The subunits, or polymers, are typical of the chemical substances. For example, the monomers of proteins are amino acids, monomers of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides. The reaction itself, by what these monomers are joining together, is a dehydration or condensation reaction.
Which term describes the breaking down of polymers such as starch and proteins into monomers the body can use?
Digestion
