Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Proteins are biopolymers of amino acids in which the monomer are linked in a linear fashion with which type of bond?
A
amide
B
hydrogen
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. Proteins are polymers in which the 20 natural amino acids are linked by amide bonds.

Detailed explanation-2: -This chain of protein molecules in a linear fashion is called a polypeptide chain and made up of amino acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ensemble of formations and folds in a single linear chain of amino acids-sometimes called a polypeptide-constitutes the tertiary structure of a protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins are linear polymers of amino acids connected by peptide bonds. They are synthesized from the template strand of DNA and contain unique and specific amino acid sequences in a linear form known as a primary structure.

Detailed explanation-5: -11.1 The Structural Nature of Biomolecules Polypeptides (PP) (proteins) are linear polymers of amino acids (H 2 N–CHR–COOH, where R (bonded to the central C) is a variable side chain (“residue”) – there are 20 different natural ones.
