Answers: 1
Explanation:
A. Proteins
Proteins will be digested upon ingestion and liberates them into individual amino acids
The answer is A. AMINO ACIDS because when you have a chain of amino acids then they go through multiple stages to become proteins. amino acids line up in single polypeptide chains and have a Alpha Helix sheet and a beta pleated sheet. The Alpha Helix sheet and the Beta Pleated sheet are still in tact when the polypeptide folds in on itself. The way these polypeptides stay folded together is by hydrogen and ionic bonds and sometimes the polypeptides might even have covalent bonds. This folding occurs through side chains ( R- Groups) with a combination of many polypeptide chains. This later forms a single functional protein complex.
Proteins are macromolecules that are composed of amino acids, and a single protein molecule may contain as many as 5,000 amino acid molecules. The amino acids that make up the protein molecule constitute its primary structure. The interactions between these amino acids form the protein's secondary structure.
Yes that's right, the RNA on the other hand is composed of A,G,C,U
