Answer:

c. amino acids

Explanation:

Amino acids are the monomers of proteins. Two amino acids combine in a condensation reaction that releases water forming a peptide bond. These two amino acid residues form a dipeptide. If a third amino acid is bound, a tripeptide is formed and so on to form a polypeptide.

The amino acids are formed by an alpha carbon attached to a carboxyl group, an amino group, a hydrogen and an R chain of variable composition, which determines the properties of the different amino acids; There are hundreds of R chains so hundreds of different amino acids are known. In natural amino acids, the amino group and the carboxyl group are attached to the same carbon that is called asymmetric alpha.

The binding of several amino acids results in chains called polypeptides or simply peptides. Protein will be discussed when the polypeptide chain exceeds 50 amino acids or the total molecular weight exceeds 5,000 amu. There are about 20 different amino acids composing proteins. The chemical binding between amino acids in proteins occurs through a peptide bond. This reaction occurs naturally in ribosomes, both of the endoplasmic reticulum and the cytosol.

Why don't antibiotic work on viruses?
Aleksandr [31]
Antibiotics are meant to kill living things (bacteria). Viruses, on the other hand, we are not sure if they would classify as living. Viruses change the meaning of "life" if we consider them alive. They can <em>only </em>reproduce within another cell by taking over that cell. An antibiotic would have to be able to kill human cells to kill a virus, and that would not be a good medicine to take. Viruses invade a host cell and incorporate the virus DNA into the host cell's DNA, which would cause the host cell to create more viruses to invade other cells. <span />

Why do viruses need hosts to reproduce
Olin [163]
When it comes into contact with a host cell, a virus can insert its genetic material into its host, literally taking over the host's functions. An infected cell produces more viral protein and genetic material instead of its usual products. Some viruses may remain dormant inside host cells for long periods, causing no obvious change in their host cells (a stage known as the lysogenic phase). But when a dormant virus is stimulated, it enters the lytic phase: new viruses are formed, self-assemble, and burst out of the host cell, killing the cell and going on to infect other cells. The diagram below at right shows a virus that attacks bacteria, known as the lambda bacteriophage, which measures roughly 200 nanometers
