Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Proteins are building blocks of the body.

The proteins are made up of amino acids. The amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds to form a protein.

Each amino acid has a carboxyl group at one end and an amine group at another end.

R group is linked with a side chain which is variable and makes a protein molecule specific.
