Proteins, also known as polypeptides, are polymers of individual amino acids (peptides). The number of amino acids in the protein chain varies widely.

There are dipeptides (2 amino acids), oligopeptides (with a small number of amino acids beyond 2), and full-scale polypeptides (which typically contain many amino acids).

Why proteins are called as polymers?

Proteins aren't called polymers, the polymers OF proteins are amino acids. Basically, amino acids coming together (creating polymers with the help of polypeptide bonds which forms them together) creates the polymers, which set up to create proteins.

What are large compounds that are composed of many smaller molecular subunits?

Large compounds composed of many smaller molecular subunits are known as polymers. Polymers are macromolecules formed by repeating units called monomers, which are linked together through chemical bonds. Examples of polymers include proteins, DNA, and plastics.

Hoe are proteins made?

proteins are the biomolecules which are polymers. polymers are the substances formed by the combination of many monomers the monomers of the proteins are amino acids. amino acids are the substaces which contains acid and amine group in them. amino acids are combined together by peptide bonds to form the protein.
