What is a protein:
A
A polymer composed of many sugars.
B
A polymer composed of many amino acids.
C
A polymer composed of fatty acids.
D
A polymer composed of nucleotides.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins consist of amino acids conjugated by peptide bonds, which is a type of amide bond formed from a carboxyl group and an amino group in -amino acids (except for one case). This special type of amide bond is called as a peptide bond and the large molecules (polymers) thus obtained are polypeptides.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polymers made from amino acids are called proteins. They are produced spontaneously by all living things, including you, including animals, plants, viruses, fungi, and bacteria. A protein is actually a polyamide, but we’ll get to that in a moment. So proteins are polymers made of amino acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins are polymers in which the 20 natural amino acids are linked by amide bonds.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, proteins are considered polymers because A polymer is made up of many interconnected subunits. A protein is made up of multiple amino acid subunits. Proteins are made up of peptide bonds that connect hundreds or thousands of amino acids. An acid group and a Nitride group are found in each amino acid.
