Question

question 35
a protein consists of smaller units referred to as:
a amino acids
b nucleic acids
c monosaccharides
d pentose sugars

Explanation:

Proteins are macromolecules. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are linked together by peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains, which then fold into specific three - dimensional structures to become functional proteins. Nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA) are made up of nucleotides. Monosaccharides are the building blocks of carbohydrates. Pentose sugars (such as ribose and deoxyribose) are components of nucleic acids.

Answer:

A. amino acids
