Question

roteins found in humans are polymers that consist of different combinations of 20 amino acids. Proline, one of the 20 amino acids, has the molecular formula, C5H9NO2. If a human protein has 25 proline monomers, how many carbon atoms from proline are present in the protein

Answer 1

Answer:

125 carbon atoms are from proline are present in the protein.

Explanation:

Molecular formula of proline = $C_5H_9NO_2$

Number of carbon atoms =  5

If a human protein has 25 proline monomers.

Number of proline molecules = 25

Number of carbon atoms in 25 molecules of proline :

$5\times 25 = 125$

125 carbon atoms are from proline are present in the protein.
