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.

Which vitamin can be synthesized in significant amounts by humans and, therefore, may NOT be essential
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The correct ansqwer is- Vitamin D

Explanation:

Vitamin D is the vitamin that can be synthesized by the human body itself therefore it is not an essential vitamin for human beings. Human skin is the part that helps in making this vitamin in humans.

The natural form of vitamin D is vitamin D3 which is formed by the sunlight exposure on the skin. When we expose our skin in the sunlight the UV radiation penetrated our skin and converts provitamin D3 into pre-vitamin D3 then this previtamin can be isomerized into the natural form of vitamin D Which is vitamin D3. So the right answer is vitamin D.
