Question

What is the monomer of peptide:
A.Amino acids
B.Glucose
C.Nucleoside
D.Nucleotide

Answer 1

Hint: To answer this question, you should recall the concept of polymerization. Polymerization refers to the process of molecules called monomers reacting together and produces three-dimensional networks or polymer chains is called polymerization

Complete step by step answer:
Polypeptides are chains of amino acids. Proteins are polymers made up of one or more polypeptide molecules. The constituent amino acids are linked covalently with the help of peptide bonds. One end of every polypeptide, called the amino-terminal or N-terminal, has a free amino group. The other end, with its free carboxyl group, is called the carboxyl-terminal or C-terminal. The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide is dictated by the codons in the messenger RNA molecules from which the polypeptide was translated. The sequence of codons in the mRNA was, in turn, dictated by the sequence of codons in the DNA from which the mRNA was transcribed.

Hence, the correct answer to this question is option A, i.e. amino acids
Note:
You should know about the several classes of polypeptides: Milk Peptides: These are formed when the digestive system breaks down a milk protein called Casein. Peptones: Peptones are produced during the proteolysis of animal milk or meat. Ribosomal Peptides: These are produced by translation of mRNA and are subjected to proteolysis for maturation. Non-ribosomal Peptides: Non-ribosomal Peptides are enzymes that are unique to each peptide, instead of the ribosome. Peptide Fragments: The fragments of proteins that are used to quantify or identify the source of protein.
