Question
A homopolymer has only one type of building block called monomer repeated ‘n’ number of times. A heteropolymer has more than one type of monomer. Proteins are heteropolymers usually made of ______.
Options
20 types of monomers
40 types of monomers
30 types of monomers
Only one type of monomer
Solution
A homopolymer has only one type of building block called monomer repeated ‘n’ number of times. A heteropolymer has more than one type of monomer. Proteins are heteropolymers usually made of 20 types of monomers.
Explanation:
A homopolymer has only one type of building block called monomer repeated V number of times. A heteropolymer has more than one type of monomer. Proteins are heteropolymers usually made of amino acids. While nucleic acid like DNA or RNA is made of only 4 types of nucleotide monomers, proteins are made of 20 types of monomers.
