I search polypeptides at Wikipedia.org, "The World's Encyclopedia" and got the Related Link below.

The first line read...

Peptides (from the Greek πεπτίδια, "small digestibles") are short polymers formed from the linking, in a defined order, of α-amino acids. The link between one amino acid residue and the next is known as an amide bond or a peptide bond.

Proteins are digested to their building blocks which are called?

peptides which are constructed from amino-acids


In what order is protein broken down during digestion?

Protein is broken down into peptides by enzymes like pepsin and trypsin in the stomach and small intestine. Peptides are further broken down into amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, which are then absorbed by the body for use in various cellular processes.


What is a protein building block other then amino acids?

Peptides are the building blocks of proteins, consisting of short chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. They can be made up of just a few amino acids or up to 50 amino acids. Peptides play important roles in various biological processes and can also have specific functions in the body.


What is the difference between amino acids and peptides?

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, consisting of a central carbon atom bound to an amino group, carboxyl group, hydrogen atom, and a side chain. Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Peptides can vary in length, with dipeptides containing two amino acids, tripeptides containing three, and so on.

Basic building blocks of everything?

Is a peptide bigger than a protein?

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and as such are always smaller than them. No amino acids are the building blocks to protein, so that is like asking if a brick (the amino acid) is bigger than the wall (the protein).


Why is the DNA code referred to as a triplet code?

Because for the purpose of translation into aminoacids, each codon is three nucleotides long. In other words peptides which are the building blocks of proteins get made by translating three nucleotides at a time.


What are building blocks of matter of life-proteins?

The building blocks of life are cells or you may mean that amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.


What are the building blocks of information technology?

Processes are the building blocks of information systems.


Is building blocks of matter a change?

No. The building blocks of matter are atoms, not a process.


What are the basic building blocks of cells?

Proteins are basic building blocks of the cells.
