Answer : The least number of amino acids in a polypeptide are 10

Explanation :

A peptide is a compound which is formed by joining of 2 or more amino acids by peptide linkage.

Depending on the number of amino acids involved in the formation of the peptide,it can be classified as follows.

1) Dipeptide : This is the shortest peptide chain and contains only 2 amino acids.

2) Polypeptide : This is formed when 10 or more amino acids are joined together. A polypeptide can have 10 to 50 amino acid molecules.

When the number of amino acids are more than 50, then the compound is termed as a "protein".

Therefore we can say that the least number of amino acids in a polypeptide are 10.

How are exothermic and endothermic reactions linked in the process of refining metal ore?

Alex777 [14]

The intended sense is that of a reaction that depends on absorbing heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases "gives out" energy in the form of heat

Elements within the same group of the periodic table behave similarly because they have the same number of ?

sammy [17]

The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Or also called valence electrons. Khan academy has a great video online explaining why this happens. (It only happens for main group elements). Here is a link (sorry you can’t click it in Brainly) https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/periodic-table/copy-of-periodic-table-of-elements/v/periodic-table-valence-electrons. Feel free to message me for a better explanation, I would explain now but I’m not sure how much you know about this. If you know how to write an electron configuration you can see how all the electron configurations for the same group (not the transitional metals only the main groups) have the same number of valence electrons. I hope that helped, sorry I was vague about the explanation :)
