STRUCTURE OF PROTEINS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The building blocks, or subunits of proteins are called
A
polymers.
B
amino acids.
C
monomers.
D
peptide bonds
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The building blocks of proteins are amino acids, which are small organic molecules that consist of an alpha (central) carbon atom linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable component called a side chain (see below).

Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins are the building blocks of the body that constitute various amino acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amino acids are the smallest and basic structural units of proteins. Amino acids of same or different types combine together to form a polypeptide chain and many polypeptide chains, in turn, join to form a complex structure called protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -Amino acids are molecules that combine to form proteins. Amino acids and proteins are the building blocks of life. When proteins are digested or broken down, amino acids are left.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
