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: -Proteins are long polymers made of amino acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins are polymers made out of amino acids. They are naturally occurring, meaning they are made by animals, plants, bugs, fungi, and other living things. A protein is actually a polyamide. So, proteins are polymers of amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biomacromolecules are large biological polymers, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates, that are made up of monomers linked together. For example, proteins are composed of monomers called amino acids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Definition. Proteins are polymers in which the 20 natural amino acids are linked by amide bonds.
