Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which biomolecule does the subunit amino acids belong to?
A
Lipids
B
Proteins
C
Carbs
D
Nucleic Acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins are strong yet flexible, and they have a complex 3-D structure. Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids, which are attached to one another in long chains.

Detailed explanation-4: -The general term for a single unit or bead is a monomer. All of the biomolecules that make up our cells are made up of strings of monomers. For example, proteins are made up of strings of amino acids and nucleic acids are strings of nucleotides.. The term for a long string of monomers is a polymer.

Detailed explanation-5: -Abstract. Amino acids are a class of important biomolecules that contains both amino groups (−NH3+), carboxylate groups (−COO‒), and a side chain (–R). Although amino acids with hundreds of different side chains have been identified or synthesized, only 20 amino acids are common building blocks of proteins.
