Solution
Protein polymers:
- Polymers made from amino acids are called proteins.
- They are produced spontaneously by all living things, including you, including animals, plants, viruses, fungi, and bacteria.
- A protein is actually a polyamide, but we'll get to that in a moment. So proteins are polymers made of amino acids.
- Monomers of amino acids, which make up proteins, have a variety of jobs to do, such as moving molecules around and moving muscles.
- Nucleic acids are substances made up of chains of polynucleotide monomers that have been linked together.
Examples:
- Gelatin, haemoglobin, antibodies, and enzymes are a few examples of proteins.
