Question

the diagram below shows two amino acids. what would biochemists call the result of chaining many of these molecules together? alanine (chemical structure) glycine (chemical structure) options: a carbohydrate, a lipid, a nucleic acid, a protein. this is a required question

Explanation:

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. When many amino acids are linked together (through peptide bonds), they form a polypeptide chain, which is the primary structure of a protein. Carbohydrates are made of sugar units, lipids are fats/oils/waxes, and nucleic acids are made of nucleotides (not amino acids). So chaining many amino acids gives a protein.

Answer:

D. a protein
