Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The assembly of complex structures or molecules (a protein or nucleic acid, for example) from smaller components (amino acids or nucleotides, for example)
A
Electrochemical gradience
B
ATP
C
synthesis
D
photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To build proteins, cells use a complex assembly of molecules called a ribosome. The ribosome assembles amino acids into the proper order and links them together via peptide bonds. This process, known as translation, creates a long string of amino acids called a polypeptide chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA is a polymer of the four nucleotides A, C, G, and T, which are joined through a backbone of alternating phosphate and deoxyribose sugar residues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is the nucleic acid responsible for using the genetic information encoded in DNA to produce the thousands of proteins found in living organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids, which are attached to one another in long chains. There are 20 different types of amino acids that can be combined to make a protein.
