Keratin's monomer is the amino acid. Specifically, keratin is a fibrous protein composed of long chains of amino acids that are linked together by peptide bonds. The primary amino acids in keratin include cysteine, which contains sulfur and forms disulfide bonds that contribute to the protein's strength and stability.

There is no antonym for polymer
What is the monomer of proteins and nucleic acids?
Monomer of protein = amino acidmonomer of nucleic acid is a nucleotide, which is made up of a sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogen base.
What is the monomer in wool?
Wool is made of the protein keratin. Amino acids are the building blocks (monomers) of proteins. Keratins are composed of amino acids, primarily the amino acids glycine and alanine. Given the wide variety of keratins, both alpha and beta, no single chemical composition or monomer can be defined. There are over 20 different amino acids that make up keratins. Cysteine can account for up to 24% of the keratin structure.
What is keratin in plural form?
Keratins is the plural form
What is the chemical formula of keratins?
The chemical formula of keratin proteins is typically expressed as C70H130N24O26S2. Keratins are structural proteins found in hair, skin, and nails, and they are composed of long chains of amino acids rich in cysteine residues.

A monomer plus a monomer plus a monomer plus a monomer is?
A polymer. Polymers are formed from the repetition of monomer units through chemical bonding to create long chains or networks.

Teflon is polytetrafluoroethylene, so the monomer is tetrafluoroethylene.
Give three uses of keratin polymer to animals?
Among mammals, the hair (including wool), horns, nails, claws, corns, and hooves, which are made primarily of α-keratins Among reptiles, the scales, claws, and, in the chelonians, such as tortoise, turtle, terrapin, the shells, which are made primarily of β-keratins Among birds, the feathers, beaks, and claws, which are made primarily of β-keratins
