What is dipeptide monomer?

Dipeptide is two classes of organic matter. It is one molecule that has two amino acids that are joined by a single peptide bond.


What is the role condensation and hydrolysis in the relationship between amino acids and dipeptides?

Condensation is the chemical reaction where two amino acids combine to form a dipeptide by releasing a water molecule. Hydrolysis is the reverse process where a dipeptide is broken down into its constituent amino acids by the addition of a water molecule. These two processes are essential for interconverting between amino acids and dipeptides in biological systems.


Which dipeptide is of 5 letters?

What is the result of hydrolysis of a dipeptide?

Hydrolysis of a dipeptide results in the breaking of the peptide bond between the two amino acids in the dipeptide to yield two separate amino acids. This process requires the addition of water to break the bond, resulting in the separation of the amino acid components.


How is polymer broken down?

it is broken down into monomers


Does protein digestion use peptidase made in the small intestine?

The protein is first broken down by PEPSIN (made in the gastric glands) in the stomach and/or TRYPSIN (made in the pancreas) in the duodenum. The protein is now broken down into DIPEPTIDES. The dipeptides are now broken down by peptidase (made by the intestinal glands) in the small intestine. The dipeptide is now an AMINO ACID. It is then absorbed by the capillaries in the villi of the small intestine. Hope that helped :)


What is smaller amino acid protein dipeptide or polypeptide?

A dipeptide is smaller than a polypeptide. A dipeptide consists of two amino acids linked together, whereas a polypeptide is made up of multiple amino acids linked together in a chain.


Can elements get broken down?

They can be broken down in your blood stream or your liver.


What are fats proteins and carbohydrates broken down into?

Proteins are broken down into amino acids, carbohydrates are broken down into sugars and fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.


What is an substance that cannot be broken down?
