question about amino acids?

It would take all 20 amino acids, arranged in some specific order. The amino acids are the minor part, because bone is not made of protein. Bone defines the face more so than the muscles on top.

amino acids are always needed for energy, long-term energy:\nanimo acids are the building blocks of protein, and when consumed and digested provide long-lasting energy, well, in relation to sugar and other carbs which only provide a quick burst of energy. Protein just generated an overall larger amount of energy upon consumption than anything else. \nit depends in what form u are using "amino acids"...\nif u are just eating lots of meat, beans, whatever protein that its OK, but if u are taking supplements u should consider not doing that b/c all the protein powders and such are not too good for yur liver and they make u gain too much weight, unless u r a hardcore weight lifter. \nso in short: dependng on how much and how quick of energy u r looking for would tell u whether u should eat protein or carbs. but protein supplement should ONLY be taken if u r working out (but preferably not at all).\nhope this helps.

proteins contain 20 Amino acids connected by dipeptide linkages. \n\neach and every amino acid has unique structure and properties, so when they are connected like beads in a chain, of 20 colours to simplify, arrangement can be made in millions of ways which makes it unique.\n\nso diversity comes from the arrangement of amino acids that is called Sequence which is represented in 20 diff alphabets \n\n   Alanine\n   Arginine\n   Asparagine\n   Aspartic acid\n   Cysteine\n   Glutamic acid\n   Glutamine\n   Glycine\n   Histidine\n   Isoleucine\n   Leucine\n   Lysine\n   Methionine\n   Phenylalanine\n   Proline\n   Serine\n   Threonine\n   Tryptophan\n   Tyrosine\n   Valine\n\nwhile giving this answer I came through similar analogy in the source given below that might give you a feel for the subject.

This would be (d).\n\nThe presence of an amide bond (R-NH-CO-R) is the main part of a peptide bond.\n\nB may look like this too, however in a peptide bond, but the amino group should be on the alpha-carbon of an amino acid.

the peptide bond of protein is the bond formed between the carbonyl carbon of one amino acid and the nitrogen atom another amino acid. this is how the amino acids binds with eachother to form  the polypeptide chain and consequently the protein.

We don't detect amino acids in stars directly, they need a much cooler environment to form and stay together.  We have found them in asteroids and comets within our own solar system, and have observed them in clouds of insterstellar gas.\n\nThe "we are all made of stardust" comment comes from the relization that all of the elements heavier than hydrogen and helium are created in the cores of stars, or in the violent deaths of some stars.  All the elements that make up you, me, this planet, everything were formed inside of stars and then blown out upon the cosmos to be reincorporated into new structures.  Kind of neat actually.

Amino acid is any molecule that contains both amine and carboxlic acid.  Amino acid is the building block of protein.\n\nVisit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid

Anabolism is the part of metabolism that refers to building of molecules, therefore, it would seem reasonable to anser there strangely worded questions thusly:\n\n1) since Amino Acids are used to build proteins and peptides, anabolism of amino acids yields proteins and peptides;\n\n2) since glucose is used to build glycogen, anabolism of glucoos will yield glycogen.\n\nGood luck!

Proteins are macromolecules. They are constructed from one or more unbranched chains of amino acids; that is, they are polymers. A typical protein contains 200–300 amino acids but some are much smaller (the smallest are often called peptides)\n\nWe know Proteins are Broken down from Protease and can be then broken further down into amino acids.\n\nWhy do we need Proteins for?\nWell ahve a look.\n\nMotion and locomotion of cells and organisms depends on contractile proteins. [Examples: Muscles] \nThe catalysis of all biochemical reactions is done by enzymes, which contain protein. \nThe structure of cells, and the extracellular matrix in which they are embedded, is largely made of protein. [Examples: Collagens] (Plants and many microbes depend more on carbohydrates, e.g., cellulose, for support, but these are synthesized by enzymes.) \nThe transport of materials in body fluids depends of proteins. [See Blood] \nThe receptors for hormones and other signaling molecules are proteins. \nProteins are an essential nutrient for heterotrophs. \nThe transcription factors that turn genes on and off to guide the differentiation of the cell and its later responsiveness to signals reaching it are proteins.\n\n4) Strcuture of a Protein\n\nProteins fold into a variety of 3-dimensional shapes. Experiments to unfold and refold proteins have shown that the amino acid sequence itself contains all the instructions needed for proper folding. Scientists have searched for rules governing folding but have found no reliable way to predict a 3-dimensional structure from a simple sequence.\n\nKnowing a protein's sequence does help, however. Having determined \n\n3) Importance of Proteins\nThere are proteins that build muscle, transport protein that carry nutrients, enzymes that 搄ump start?cellular activity, protein hormones involved in regulating metabolism, structural proteins like collagen, and special proteins needed for antibody production. Proteins are thus involved in all body functions, and are nessacary for health.\n\nProteins are large molecules that are made up of smaller chains of peptides. Peptides are chains of amino acids that are biochemically bonded together. There are about 50 amino acids is a single peptide chain. During normal digestion the proteins we take in are broken down into its simplest form (amino acids). These amino acids are then absorbed by the body and made back into proteins that the body needs. As we saw before proteins are crucial to a variety of body functions and structure. This is why everybody need to include protein foods in their diet\n\n\nSort of answer Your Question?

Particles, Amino acids (compounds), Proteins, Cells is as specific as I can get.  Seems this question is incomplete.

amino acids is in other words, proteins..\ngrowing pigs need these proteins so that new cells are made and thus so that they can develop and grow..proteins are also used to make hormones that are necessary for the body to function properly..proteins also help in the making of enzymes that help to break down join up certain substances within the pig's body..there r many more functions of proteins but the basic one is to promote growth..\nThis is the reason why pregnant ladies are adviced to take lots of protein in their diet..so that the unborn baby can grow and develop..

amino acids; this giant molecule mainly constructed from carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen atoms.

I asked this same question at the Wikipedia reference desk not long ago. See below for a summary of the answer. (It discusses both protein length- the number of amino acids and molecular weight):\nI am looking for a rule of thumb on the molecular weight of proteins. Any opinion of the "average" MW of proteins? Or the range of MW that most proteins fall in? I know this is an ill defined question, so don't bother telling me that..... ike9898 22:32, 3 January 2006 (UTC)\n\nA molecular mass of about 40,000 is fairly average. Proteins such as myoglobin and calmodulin are good examples of proteins that do not try to do a whole lot, but they show that a particular biological function can often be accomplished with a 15-20 kDa protein. Many proteins combine several functional domains and can easily be 40, 60, 80, 100 kDa. Many membrane proteins have multiple transmembrane domains plus a cytoplasmic and an extracellular domain. Transmembrane proteins in the range of 80-160 kDa are fairly common. Attempts have been made to identify all the proteins in various organisms. In Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae the average protein size is 388 amino acids (see). The recent article, "Protein length in eukaryotic and prokaryotic proteomes" says that among the Eukaryotic proteins analyzed the average protein was 361 amino acids long while in Bacteria the average was 267 amino acids. --JWSchmidt 00:05, 4 January 2006 (UTC) \n\nThank you! Using another rule of thumb (number of amino acids times 110 = estimate of MW): \n388 amino acids represents a MW of about 42.6 kDa \n361 """" 39.7 kDa \n267 """" 29.4 kDa

There are twenty standard amino acids:\nhttp://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/chemistry/bio/amino-acids_en.html\nBut there are also two other non-standard amino acids:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid

The word "amino" indicates the presence of the functional group in organic chemistry, the amino group, NH2.  The "acid" indicates the presence of the the functional group carboxylic acid (carboxyl) group (COOH).  Both functional groups are found in amino acids, hence the name.

There are twenty different amino acids in all.  Amino acids are used to make proteins in the body.  Proteins can be up to 1000s of amino acids in length, so almost every amino acid is used to make almost every protein.  A non-essential amino acid is one that our body can produce by itself.  In contrast, an essential amino acid is one that must be taken in our diet because our body cannot naturally produce it (I think there are about 7 or 8 that are essential, but I'm not sure).

Which one hahaha. There are many! There are over 20^100 possible combinations of amino acids which make up protiens. And in general we dont look at the molecular formula because it doesnt tell us as much as the amino acid residues. \n\nLys-Arg-Cys ....
