They are one of the main groups of chemicals which the life on Earth uses.
The amino acids are the functional building blocks for every organism.When a specific number of them polymerize (the amino acids bond together), a protein with specific conformation is formed.Every protein has a different function (regulatory - hormones, catalytic - enzymes, structural e.t.c.).The whole life on Earth use proteins - from the viruses, through bacteria, fungi, animals, plants to the human beings and the whole life on Earth uses the same 20 amino acids for their construction.

∙ 14y agoThey make up proteins by forming a polypeptide chain. Peptide bonds form between them.
An amino acid has the general formula: H2NC(R)(H)COOH.
Proteins are used in the body for lots of things and are coded for by DNA through the process of Protien synthesis using ribosomes as a site of production.
There are 40 amino acids in the human body.

Why is the sequence of amino acids significant in building proteins?
dna gives codes for 1 of20 amino acids. amino acids form chains and a complete chain is a protein.
What repeating units make up a protein fatty acids peptide acids amino acids carboxylic acids?
They are the amino acids. They are the monomers
Proteins are formed of building blocks called?
Amino acids held together by peptide bonds.
Monomer of proteins?
Amino acids.
Proteins are polymers formed from?
Proteins are polymers made up of amino acids.

How many acids are their?
amino acids?? 20 amino acids
What are amino acids that cannot be made by metabolism called?
Amino acids that cannot be made by metabolism are called essential amino acids. These amino acids must be obtained through diet.
Proteins are polymers formed from?
Proteins are polymers made up of amino acids.
What molecule links together to form proteins?
Amino acids
How 20 amino acids are responsible for the billions of protein?
Even with 20 amino acids, there can be innumerable combinations. Since amino acids can be repeated in the polypeptide chain, it is easy to create a variety of proteins. It must also be taken to account that just one protein is made from around 50 amino acids minimum, which greatly increases the diversity of the protein. Even with just 50 amino acids, the different arrangements can be 3.04*1064, which is a significant amount of proteins that can be made from arrangements of just 50 amino acids.
What are protiens digested into?
They are digested into your mom
Do amino acids amino have an amino group?
No,fatty acids don't have an amino group
