which word does not belong?

Question

the word are >>>------------->>> amino acid, polypeptide, protein, translation

please answer ASAP!!!!

Answer 1

Translation is the one that doesn't belong. Amino acid, polypeptide and protein all have to do with proteins and their subunits. Translation is the process of reading mRNA and turning it into a protein, but not the actualy protein itself.

Answer 2

Amino acids are the monomers or building blocks of proteins. A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids. It's like a train.....amino acids are the cars that make up the whole train (which is the polymer or protein).

According to , translation is the process of forming a protein molecule at a ribosomal site of protein synthesis from information contained in messenger RNA.

Although they ALL are closely related, amino acid, polypeptide, and protein seem to be the three things that would fit best together.

Answer 3

Not sure because I thought they were all related. However, I suppose the word translation does not belong.

Here is a description of amino acid, peptide and protein.

In biochemistry, this shorter and more general term is frequently used to refer to alpha amino acids: those amino acids in which the amino and carboxylate functionalities are attached to the same carbon, the so-called α–carbon. These amino acids are used as the basic components of proteins. There are twenty "standard" amino acids used by cells in protein biosynthesis that are specified by the general genetic code. A list of standard amino acids describes their chemical structures and basic physical and chemical properties. Essential amino acids are the ones that must be obtained in the diet.

A polypeptide is a single linear chain of amino acids. Proteins are polypeptide molecules (or consist of multiple polypeptide subunits). The distinction is that peptides are short and proteins are long. There are several different conventions to determine these, all of which have flaws. In order for a polypeptide to be a protein, it has to have some sort of biological function in the body.

A protein is one or more polypeptides more than about 50 amino acids long. Proteins are large organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together between the carboxyl atom of one amino acid and the amine nitrogen of another. This bond is called a peptide bond. The sequence of amino acids in a protein is defined by a gene and encoded in the genetic code. Although this genetic code specifies 20 "standard" amino acids, the residues in a protein are often chemically altered in post-translational modification: either before the protein can function in the cell, or as part of control mechanisms. Proteins can also work together to achieve a particular function, and they often associate to form stable complexes.

Answer 4

Translation

Amino acids, polypeptides, and proteins are all structures. Translation is a process.

Answer 5

translation. this is the proccess of ribsomes reading mrna in the cytoplasm and creating polypeptides through amino acids.

the rest are in sequence. amino acids make polypeptides which makes proteins.

Michael a's reason 4 his answer is totally wrong.

Answer 6

answer is translation.

amino acids are building blocks of protein.

polypeptides are amino acid chains.

proteins are composed of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.

translation is the genetics process determining amino acid sequence; the process by which information in messenger RNA directs the sequence of amino acids assembled by a ribosome during protein synthesis

Answer 7

TRANSLATION DOES NOT BELONG, and I'll tell you why:
proteins are made of polypeptide chains, which, in turn, are made of amino acids...

Answer 8

Translation.

Amino acids are the little bits that make proteins.
Proteins are polypreptide molycules.
All linked, all related...

Translation has several meanings, none of which are to do with proteins.

Answer 9

translation does not belong there..
Be more clear
Polypeptide helps amino acids to bind to form protein

Answer 10

amino acid...ORGANIC CHEMICALS THAT CONTAIN NITROGEN , IT CAN BE LINKED TOGETHER TO FORM PROTEINS

polypeptide proteins composed of amino acids and joined by peptide ponds ,

protein....the structural coponents of cells
there fore protien is the word that doesnt belong .
