Do amino acids have protein?

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are simply chains of amino acids. I think you meant to ask do proteins have amino acids. Amino acids as the name indicates (Amino) have amine groups, carboxylic acid groups and a side chain that varies depending on the amino acid (20 differnet types).

Sort of. If you've got a chain of amino acids, there are enzymes that can fragment that chain, according to their degree of degradation - either you get smaller chain parts or it will be cut down to the single amino acids.

What molecules form protiens when linked together with covalent bonds?

Amino acids are the molecules that form proteins when linked together by covalent bonds. The covalent bonds between amino acids are called peptide bonds, and the chain of amino acids linked together by these bonds forms a polypeptide chain, which then folds into a functional protein.

Building block unit of a polypeptide chain?

The building block unit of a polypeptide chain is an amino acid. Amino acids are organic compounds containing an amine group and a carboxylic acid group, along with a side chain that is specific to each amino acid. Multiple amino acids are linked together via peptide bonds to form a polypeptide chain.
