Which type of macromolecule is made up of subunits that are called amino acids?

Answer 1

Amino acids are the building block of proteins. During protein synthesis in ribosomes of cells, amino acids are arranged in specific sequences by a complex formed by combination of mRNA, rRNA, and ribosome. tRNA helps to transfer amino acids from cytoplasm to the complex. Sequences at which amino acids are arranged determine the type of protein synthesized.

Answer 2

Amino Acids are known as the building blocks of life! When those building blocks are put together they form a protein. Proteins have specific functions and they allow an organism to complete a life function.

Answer 3

Hi Tre,

Polypeptides or Proteins, if they are biologically functioning, are made up of amino acids.
