Answer:

More than 100 amino acids linked together is considered a protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scientists categorize the links of amino acids based on the number of aminoacids:

Peptides: two to ten amino acids

Polypeptides: 11 to 100 amino acids

Proteins are 100 and more of 100 amino acids.

A protein is a chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. They are responsible of the biochemical reaction of cells.
