Analogy for amino acids?
Amino Acids are like letter in the alaphabet, there are many different kinds and you can make many different words (or sequences in the case of amino acids). These words have different meanings, just like different amino acids have different purposes/ functions.
How many water molecules are released when you join five amino acids?
Three molecules of water are formed when four amino acids join together. This is the result of three amide bonds that underwent condensation reactions.
What is The relationship between a polypeptide bond and a peptide bond?
a polypeptide is a a sequence of amino acids covalently bonded together by a peptide bond. The peptide bond is formed when two adjacent amino acids come together by way of condensation reaction (loss of a water molecule) to form the covalent bond between them.
A protein consisting of six amino acids undergoes hydrolysis How many water molecules must be broken down and reattached to amino acid molecules during this process?
Five. One molecule of water will be used to break each bond between the amino acids. Since there are five bonds, then five molecules of water will be required for the hydrolysis of this peptide.
Is protein a molecule?
Any of a group of complex organic macromolecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and usually sulfur and are composed of one or more chains of amino acids. Proteins are fundamental components of all living cells and include many substances, such as enzymes, hormones, and antibodies, that are necessary for the proper functioning of an organism. They are essential in the diet of animals for the growth and repair of tissue and can be obtained from foods such as meat, fish, eggs, milk, and legumes. == == translation occurs after transcription to produce the new protein molecule.
