Question

Relation between amino acids and proteins is similar to the one between:
A. nucleotides and nucleic acids
B. RNA and DNA
C. Glucose and Fructose
D. Glucose and Mannose

Answer 1

Hint: The relation between the amino acids and proteins is that protein is formed from a monomer unit amino acid which is the building block of protein. In protein, amino acids are arranged in different manner.

Complete answer:
The proteins are formed from monomeric amino acids which are known as the building block of proteins. Amino acids are considered as small organic molecules containing an alpha carbon atom which is joined to an amino group, a carboxyl group and a hydrogen atom along with a variable side chain. Inside the protein, multiple amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds forming a long chain. The linear arrangement of amino acids inside the protein is referred to as the primary structure of protein.
The nucleic acid is formed of a monomer unit known as nucleotides. The nucleotides are the building block of nucleic acids. The nucleotide is formed of mainly three components that are 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base.
Thus, the relation between amino acids and proteins is similar to the one between nucleotides and nucleic acids.
So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Note:
RNA and DNA are two nucleic acids with common building block monomer unit nucleotides. When the sugar is formed of a ribose it results in the formation of polymer called ribonucleic acid which is abbreviated as RNA and when the sugar is formed of deoxyribose than its result in the formation of polymer known as deoxyribose nucleic acid abbreviated as DNA.
