Question

an organism needs to manufacture an enzyme that will break down a specific toxin that enters its cells. which table correctly identifies the elements the organism will use to create the monomer required for the composition of the enzyme?

Explanation:

Enzymes are mostly proteins. Proteins are polymers made of amino acid monomers. The elements in amino acids (and thus in enzymes, which are proteins) include carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and nitrogen (N). Nucleotides are monomers of nucleic acids, fatty acids are part of lipids, and monosaccharides are monomers of carbohydrates (not enzymes). So the monomer for an enzyme (protein) is amino acid, with elements C, H, O, N.

Answer:

The correct option is the one with "Elements: C, H, O, N" and "Monomer: amino acid". (Assuming the third option in the list as per the image layout: Elements - C, H, O, N; Monomer - amino acid)
