Amino acids are linked into chains by a process called translation. This happens when a ribosome attaches to the "start" end of messenger RNA (mRNA) and moves along it. The chain is called a polypeptide. The protein is the molecule that has a role in the organism. It consists of one or more polypeptide chains, each of which has to be coiled and folded into the correct shape. In eukaryotic cells, translation begins in the cytoplasm. The process is completed either * in the cytoplasm, or * in the lumen (cavity) of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Which of these happens depends on the amino acid sequence of the first part of the chain to be synthesized. Polypeptide chains are also synthesized inside mitochondriaand chloroplasts. These organelles have their own DNA, mRNA, and ribosomes. In prokaryotic cells, polypeptides are synthesized in the cytoplasm.
Amino acids make up proteins.
Amino acids
Amino acids contain both the amino (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) groups. Proteins are formed by amino acids.
Amino acids by (mostly linear) peptidic bonding
They are actually called amino acids. Anyway amino acids are small molecules that are linked chemically to other amino acids to form proteins.
amino acid
Amino acids make up proteins, by forming chains.
The monomers of proteins are amino acides. Amino acids make up proteins by combining into many different combinations. There are 20 amino acids that make up proteins.
No, they are the building blocks of protiens, or they make the proteins.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are made up of one or more chains of amino acids linked together. In other words, amino acids are the individual units that make up proteins.
Proteins are composed of amino acids. These amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds where the -COOH group and the -NH2 group of two consecutive amino acids bond with the loss of a water molecule. The sequence of the amino acids make up the primary structure of the protein.
Amino acids make up proteins.
No, carbohydrates are not made of amino acids. Carbohydrates are made of sugar molecules, while amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
Proteins are polymers of amino acid molecules
Yes, amino acid molecules are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids that are linked together by peptide bonds. The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its structure and function.
Amino acids make up proteins.
Amino acids are the subunits that make up proteins.
