Is polypeptide an amino acid?

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.


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.


What monomer makes up a polypeptide?

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.


What is smaller amino acid protein dipeptide or polypeptide?

A dipeptide is smaller than a polypeptide. A dipeptide consists of two amino acids linked together, whereas a polypeptide is made up of multiple amino acids linked together in a chain.


How many monomers are added to the growing polypeptide or protein chain in each step?

During each step of protein synthesis, one amino acid monomer is added to the growing polypeptide chain by the ribosome. This process occurs in a cyclical manner as the ribosome moves along the mRNA strand, adding one amino acid at a time.


How many amino acids will be in the first amino acid in every growing polypeptide?

The first amino acid in a growing polypeptide chain is usually methionine when translation initiates in eukaryotes, and formylmethionine in prokaryotes. Therefore, there will be one amino acid in the first position of every growing polypeptide chain.


What is the purpose of a transfer RNA?

Transfer RNA (tRNA) plays a crucial role in protein synthesis by carrying specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation. Each tRNA molecule has an anticodon region that binds to the corresponding codon on messenger RNA, ensuring that the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.


Chains of amino acid?

A chain of amino acids make up a protein and is also called a polypeptide chain.


What are three nucleotides that specify a single amino acid to be added to a polypeptide?

CONDON


How are amino acids connected to one another by bonds in a polypeptide?

Amino acids are connected to one another in a polypeptide chain through peptide bonds. Peptide bonds form between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid, creating a chain of amino acids in a specific sequence.


What happens when amino acids are joined to form a polypeptide chain?

An amino acid links with another amino acid through a condensation reaction to form a peptide bond. This process continues until a polypeptide chain is formed.


During translation the type of amino acid that is added to the growing polypeptide depends on what?

D. codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA to which the amino acid is attached. __________ On my packet it says answer C. Codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA but it's all the same thing XD
