D
Glycerol
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins are polypeptide chains made up of amino acids connected through peptide bonds.

Detailed explanation-2: -As we noted for nucleic acids, a polymer is a chain of subunits, amino acid monomers linked together by peptide bonds. Under the conditions that exist inside the cell, this is a thermodynamically unfavorable dehydration reaction, and so must be coupled to a thermodynamically favorable reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chains of about 50 amino acids or more are usually called proteins or polypeptides.
