Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:A protein is a polymer that is made up of amino acid monomers.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins are polymers of amino acids. Each amino acid contains a peptide bond −CO−NH2− variable with the R group. So the given statement is True.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, proteins are composed of monomers called amino acids. They are linked together to form a polypeptide chain, which folds into a three dimensional (3D) structure to constitute a functional protein (Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins are long polymers made of amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -A polymer composed of amino acid monomers is called a polypeptide or a protein. Amino acids are linked in an unbranched fashion via peptide bonds by the ribosome.
