Question

Why are amino acids called the building blocks of proteins?

Answer 1

Proteins are the lang chains of amino acids.

Explanation:

The amino acids are the building blocks of the proteins. That work as the bricks of the building. The amino acids are joined to form a long chain of acids by amino and carboxyl and yields water. This long chain amino acids is the primary protein. The primary proteins modify into different directions to form secondary, tertiary etc., proteins.
The proteins are synthesized on the complex mechanism on genetic codes template. The mRNA and tRNA have great roles in determining the sequences of the amino acids in primary chains of the proteins. Thank you
