What are the smaller molecules called that make a protein?

Proteins are polymers of amino acids. The instructions for protein synthesis are contained within the genes (on DNA). This instructions are read from an mRNA at the ribosomes to produce the correct sequence of amino acids - a protein.


How does protease remove protein stains from clothes?

Protease enzymes break down protein molecules in protein stains on clothes into smaller fragments, making them easier to lift and remove during the washing process. This enzymatic action helps to break down the chemical bonds between the protein molecules and the fabric, making it easier for the stain to be washed away with water.


Organ Where hydrochloric acid digests protein and kills bacteria?

The stomach is the organ where hydrochloric acid digests protein and kills bacteria. The acidic environment in the stomach helps to break down protein into smaller molecules for absorption and also serves as a defense mechanism against harmful bacteria that may be ingested with food.


Do larger molecules have stronger intermolecular forces compared to smaller molecules?

Yes, larger molecules generally have stronger intermolecular forces compared to smaller molecules due to increased surface area and more opportunities for interactions between molecules.


Are there molecules in molecules?

No, molecules cannot contain smaller molecules within them. Molecules are already the smallest unit of a compound and are made up of atoms bonded together in a specific arrangement. They do not contain smaller molecules as subunits.

What are the chains of smaller molecules that make up proteins called?

The chains of smaller molecules that make up proteins are called amino acids. Each amino acid has a unique structure and side chain that determines the overall properties and function of the protein.

What happens to small molecules of protein in the mouth?

In the mouth, small molecules of protein are broken down by enzymes called proteases. These enzymes break down the protein molecules into smaller peptides and amino acids, which can then be absorbed through the lining of the small intestine for use by the body.

What type of molecules do pepsin create?

Pepsin is an enzyme that is produced in the stomach. It splits protein molecules in order to create proteoses and peptones.


What are the filsments of DNA and protein?

In essence, a protein filament is a long strand (aka filament) that's made of protein (hence, "protein filament"). So they are composed of smaller, protein subunits, which are single protein molecules.
