In organisms, macromolecules are made up of subunits. Which of these pairs correctly describeshow a macromolecule is constructed?
A
DNA is made up of nucleic acids.
B
Protein is made up of amino acids.
C
Nucleic acids are made up of DNA.
D
Amino acids are made up of protein.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In organisms, macromolecules are made up of subunits. Which of these pairs correctly describes how a macromolecule is constructed? DNA is made up of nucleic acids. Protein is made up of amino acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most macromolecules are polymers, which are long chains of subunits called monomers.

Detailed explanation-3: -a protein is a long molecule composed of repeating subunits called amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Figure 11.4 Peptides and Proteins are macromolecules built from long chains of amino acids joined together through amide linkages. The identity and function of a peptide or a protein is determined by the primary sequence of amino acids within its structure.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monomers are the building blocks of the four basic macromolecules of life-monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates, amino acids are the monomers of proteins, glycerol/fatty acids are the monomers of lipids, and nucleotides are the monomers of DNA.
