Proteins are polymers made naturally. The monomers of protein are amino acids. Large number of amino acids are bond to form proteins.

What organic molecule is most closely related to nucleic acids?

Since proteins are organic molecules (carbon-containing and essential to life), the closest organic molecule to proteins is proteins. Before one can determine which organic molecules are most closely related to proteins, one would first have to define what particular aspects of relatedness one is interested in, ie. solubility, chemical composition, structure, function, etc.


Are proteoglycans organic or inorganic?

Proteoglycans are organic molecules. They are composed of proteins and long chains of complex carbohydrates called glycosaminoglycans.


Do proteins contain hydrocarbons?

Yes hydrogen is present in protein back bone and peptide side chains. In addition proteins are rich in Carbon hence known as organic molecule. Traces of sulfur also their in aminoacids such as serine and threionine


Is molecule an organism?

Organic molecules are substances found in living things, the four main classes are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.The original definition of organic chemicals were ones that could only be made by living things (organisms, thus the name) never in a lab. Then chemists gradually learned how to make a few of them. The definition was changed to complicated compounds containing the element carbon. This usually requires a minimum of 2 carbon atoms per molecule. Now we can make many of them in industrial quantities. An organic molecule are built around chains of carbon atoms and are the molecules of life. The four main groups of organic molecules are proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates.


What is the basis of an organic molecule?

The basis of an organic molecule is carbon. Organic molecules contain carbon atoms bonded to other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur. The presence of carbon allows organic molecules to form complex structures and exhibit a wide range of functions in living organisms.

How do you know a model is an organic compound?

Organics involve Carbon and chains of carbon. The general rule is that if the molecule has carbon, than it is an organic molecule.


Giant organic molecule made of small molecules linked together?

No, it is one molecule.However some large organic molecules (i.e. polymers) are formed from small organic molecules (i.e. monomers) that bond together into long chains, forming one new large molecule. The small molecules no longer exist as individual molecules after bonding into the large molecule.


What is a molecule consisting of two or more amino acids called?

A molecule consisting of two or more amino acids linked together is called a peptide. Peptides can vary in size, with smaller peptides typically referred to as dipeptides (2 amino acids), tripeptides (3 amino acids), or oligopeptides (2-20 amino acids).


What molecule is built of amino acids?

Polypeptide chains, commonly called proteins
