Answer:

d. Nucleotides link together to form a nucleic acid. Amino acids link together to form a protein.

Explanation:

A nucleotide is a bio-molecule which has a sugar phosphate backbone in which a sugar (deoxyribose / ribose sugar) and a phosphate group is attached to each other alternately through phosphodiester bond and a nitrogenous base is attached to the sugar molecule with the help of N- Glycosidic bond.

In case of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), nucleotides are the monomer units and when these monomeric units join each other to form a chain of nucleotides they are able to create these polymers known as nucleic acids.

Proteins on the other hand are another class of bio-molecules which are the polymers of monomeric units known as amino acids. In proteins, various amino acids are attached to each other with the help of peptide bond.

grin007 [14]
For staining flagella of bacteria use actively motile organisms 20 to 24 hours old, allow to diffuse in sterile water 20 to 30 minutes, transfer droplets of the suspension to clean slides and let evaporate without spreading. Then treat 2 to 4 minutes with the following mordant: tannic acid 10 or 20%, 50 cc.; ferric chloride 5%, 10 to 15 cc.; carbol fuchsin (Ziehl-Nielson), 5 cc.; hydrogen peroxide 3%, 6 to 8 cc. Wash and stain 2 to 3 minutes with a mixture of basic fuchsin, saturated alcoholic, 10 cc.; anilin oil (1 part) and 95% alcohol (3 parts) mixed, 5 cc.; distilled water, 30 cc.; acetic acid, 4%, 1 cc. Wash thoroly with water.
