Question

the image below shows the formation of an antifreeze protein within a plant cell of a maple tree. amino acids -> peptide -> protein. individual amino acids. peptide, a chain of amino acids. protein, a longer amino acid chain with secondary structure. based on this information, correctly match the following. column a: 1. protein 2. amino acid 3. type of reaction to make protein. column b: a. polymer b. anabolic c. monomer d. catabolic

Explanation:

1. Proteins are polymers made up of amino - acid monomers. So, protein matches with polymer.
2. Amino acids are the building blocks (monomers) of proteins.
3. The formation of proteins from amino acids is an anabolic reaction as it involves building larger molecules from smaller ones.

Answer:

1. a. polymer
2. c. monomer
3. b. anabolic
