What are the polymers in protein?

Proteins are polymers of amino acids. The monomer of proteins is amino acids. Chains of amino acids are polypeptides and are called proteins if there are more than 20 amino acids in the chain.

Polymer of a protien?

Normally you can just refer to the polymers just as proteins, but if you want to be specific, you can say polypeptide, thereby excluding amino acids, dipeptides, and oligopeptides. The monomers of proteins are amino acids.


Why are proteins classified as polymers?

A protein is a chain of amino acids. Polymers are a series of repeated single units, or monomers. In this particular case, amino acid is the monomer and as a chain, it forms protein. Simple enough? -Lys0girl


What are the building blocks for carbohydrates proteins lipids and nucleic acid?

Carbohydrates: monosaccharides (simple sugars) such as glucose and fructose. Proteins: amino acids (20 different types). Lipids: fatty acids and glycerol. Nucleic acids: nucleotides (phosphate group, sugar, and nitrogenous base).


All of the different proteins in a cell are made from the same 20?

All of the different proteins in a cell are made from the same 20 amino acids. These amino acids are encoded by the genetic information in DNA and are linked together in specific sequences to form different proteins with unique structures and functions. The diversity of proteins in a cell arises from the different sequences and arrangements of these 20 amino acids.
