The monomer that makes up a polypeptide is an amino acid. Polypeptides are formed when amino acids are linked together through peptide bonds during protein synthesis. In contrast, fatty acids are the monomers that make up fats, including polyunsaturated fats and phospholipids.
an amino acid is a monomer.. it joins together to form a dipeptide.. which joins together to form a polypeptide polypeptide - otherwise known as a polymer
Amino acid. (also its spelt polypeptide)
The monomer used to build proteins is called an amino acid. Proteins are composed of long chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds, forming polypeptide chains.
Amino acids are the monomers that make up a polypeptide chain. Each amino acid has an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable side chain, which gives each amino acid its unique properties.
Typically containing fewer than 50 monomer units.

The monomer of proteins are amino acids, which are linked together through peptide bonds to form a polymer called polypeptide chains. These polypeptide chains can further fold and interact with each other to form the final protein structure.
A protein monomer is an individual unit that makes up a protein molecule. It consists of a sequence of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Proteins are made up of one or more of these monomers, known as polypeptide chains.
The monomers in a polypeptide are the amino acids. The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide (or protein) is called the primary structure. It is the primary structure of proteins which is coded for by the DNA in the genes: the sequence of bases in the DNA is a code for the sequence of amino acids in a protein (or polypeptide).

No, a polypeptide is not an amino acid. A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are the individual units that make up a polypeptide chain.
Collegen is a polymer as it is a (very) large molecule comprised of repeating sub-unitsIt is one of the longest protein strands in the human body and often binds to other collegen molecules forming collagen helices and other helices forming a 'super helix'This helps give collagen it's properties and has extremely varied functions in the cell and extra cellular matrix depending on its arrangement of amino acids
