Proteins are the polymers of ________.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C amino acid
Proteins are large biological molecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.
A linear chain of amino acid residues is called a polypeptide. A protein contains at least one long polypeptide. Short polypeptides, containing less than about 20-30 residues, are rarely considered to be proteins and are commonly called peptides, or sometimes oligopeptides. The individual amino acid residues are bonded together by peptide bonds and adjacent amino acid residues.
