Solution

The correct option is C Amino acid sequences within the protein molecule
The amino acids can be arranged in different order in the polypeptide chain to form a diverse array of proteins. Proteins are building blocks of the body. The proteins are made up of amino acids. The amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds to form a protein. The amino acids consist of amine group made up of nitrogen and hydrogen and the carboxyl group at the end and a side chain of R group which is specific to a particular amino acid. The sequence of amino acids determines the protein.
So, the correct answer is option c.
