The right question would be, "Do cells make proteins FROM small structures called amino acids?" The short answer is, yes.

If your interested in how look up the Hierarchy of Protein Structures.

Specifically: Primary Structure ie. the amino acid sequence

Secondary Structure ie repeating folding patterns (which help determine function.)

Tertiary Structure ie. many folds and patters create a 3-D shape. For some proteins this is the final structure to a functional protein (such as ribonuclease).

Quaternary Structure ie. Most functional proteins are comprised of two or more polypeptides that each adopt a Tertiary Structure (see above) and then assemble with each other. When proteins consist of more than one polypeptide chain, they are said to have Quarternary Structure.

What makes up proteins what are the subunits called?

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.

What smaller molecules that make up proteins are called?

Amino acids are the smaller molecules that make up proteins. Proteins are long chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. There are 20 different types of amino acids that can be combined in various sequences to form a wide variety of proteins with different structures and functions.


Proteins are polymers of molecules called what?

Proteins are polymers of molecules called amino acids. These amino acids are linked together in a specific sequence to form long chains, which then fold into complex structures to carry out various functions in the body.
