Question

biochemistry online practice complete this assessment to review what youve learned. it will not count toward you amino acid is a building block of (1 point) starch. carbohydrates. glucose. protein.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the building blocks of each option:

• Starch is a polysaccharide, built from glucose (a monosaccharide), so not from amino acids.
• Carbohydrates are made of sugar units (monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides), not amino acids.
• Glucose is a monosaccharide (a type of carbohydrate), not built from amino acids.
• Proteins are polymers made by linking amino acids through peptide bonds. So amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Answer:

D. protein
