Is proteins a polymers?

Yes it is a polymer because they are made up of molecules called Amino Acids.


What 2 polymers make up amino acids?

Amino acids are not made up of polymers; rather, they are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are formed when amino acids link together through peptide bonds, creating long chains called polypeptides.


Are nucleotides are polymers made of amino acids?

True


How Both Nucleic Acids aNd Proteins And Polymers?

A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeated subunits called monomers. Nucleic acids are polymers that are made up of monomers called nucleotides. Protein is a polymer made of monomers called amino acids.


Proteins are polymers formed from?

Proteins are polymers formed from amino acids, which are linked together by peptide bonds. The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its unique structure and function. Proteins are essential for many biological processes in the body.


Proteins are made up of what smaller pieces?

Proteins are polymers made up of individual monomers called amino acids.


What are the monomers for the polymers in proteins?

The monomers of proteins are called Amino Acids.


Are all proteins polymers?

Proteins are polymers of amino acids. Another name for protein is polypeptide. They are made of many (poly = many) amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. (Glycerol and fatty acids are the monomers of lipids)


Are amino acids are polypeptides?

No, the reverse is true: polypeptides are polymers, made of amino acids (as monomers, i.e. subunits)


What are the names for the monomers and polymers of nucleic acids?

monomer = amino acidpolymer = polypeptide (= polypeptide chain)A monomer is one unit in a chain of repeating units. Amino acids are assembled in cells into chains called polypeptides.A protein may consist of just one polypeptide, or more than one. For example, human growth hormone has only one chain, but hemoglobin has four.


What do protein consist of?

Proteins are polymers made up of amino acid monomers. Any chain of two or more amino acids is called a peptide. When many amino acids are joined together, the result is called a polypeptide, or a protein.


What kind of macromolecul is made from amino acids?

amino acids when joined by peptide bonds gives rise to a very essential macromolecule called PROTIENS .
