What Is A Polymer Of Amino Acids. Living things build proteins a particular type of polymer from monomers called amino acids. Under the conditions that exist inside the cell this is a thermodynamically unfavorable dehydration reaction and so must be coupled to a thermodynamically favorable reaction. Show transcribed image text. A polymer composed of amino acid monomers is called a polypeptide or a protein.
The unit constituent of protein in amino acid. Dipeptides - 2 amino acids. Tripeptides - 3 amino acids. Living things build proteins a particular type of polymer from monomers called amino acids. Oligopeptides - 4 - 10 or so. It was obtained from protein found in.
To which a carboxyl group COOH and amino group NH 2 are attachedThe general formula may be represented as ball and stick formula and Fischer projection formula Fig.
Click here to know what the polymers of amino acids called. Question 29 A triglyceride is a polymer made up of which kind of subunits. Proteins are made up of 50 or more amino acid units in a straight chain linkage with various bonds commonly a disulphide bond. - COOH OH Carboxyl and hydroxy - COOH NH2 Carboxyl and amine. In the lab chemists have many options as they design and construct polymers. B branched chains of amino acids are present.
