Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lipids are formed by the joining of the glycerol molecules to the chains of hydrocarbon. The molecules that join together to form long chains of proteins are amino acids.
