BIO MOLECULES

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which biomolecule is made of long chains of amino acids; functions include enzymeswhich speeds the rate of chemical reactions, structural components in cells, mechanical functions in muscles and cytoskeleton, cell signaling, and immune response; provides structure and helps with chemical reactions
A
Protein
B
Lipids
C
Carbohydrate
D
Nucleic Acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The function of the biomolecule protein is structure or support and enzymes speed up the chemical reactions. Q. Which biomolecule is important source of energy for humans; glucose for human cells, tissues, and organs; provides fiber, sugar, and starches; provides structural support, cell wall, and cell membrane maker?

Detailed explanation-2: -A protein molecule is made from a long chain of these amino acids, each linked to its neighbor through a covalent peptide bond (Figure 3-1). Proteins are therefore also known as polypeptides.

Detailed explanation-3: -A fundamental task of proteins is to act as enzymes-catalysts that increase the rate of virtually all the chemical reactions within cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -A protein is a biomolecule composed of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fatty acids have a long chain of hydrocarbons to which an acidic carboxyl group is attached, hence the name “fatty acid.” The number of carbons in the fatty acid may range from 4 to 36; most common are those containing 12–18 carbons.
