plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

plasma is the colorless fluid part of blood, lymph, or milk, in which corpuscles or fat globules are suspended. red blood cells have a high concentration of hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen from the lungs and that gives blood its red color. white blood cells are part of the body's immune system. They help the body fight infection and other diseases. platelets are pieces of very large cells in the bone marrow called megakaryocytes. they help form blood clots to slow or stop bleeding and to help wounds heal.

Answer:

Polypeptide

Explanation:

Amino acids are the building block and simplest unit of protein molecules. The structural composition of each amino acids is made up of an amine group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom (H) and a R side chain that differentiates every amino acid from one another.

In a reaction process called condensation, amino acids are chemically joined together via the amine group of one and the carboxylic group of another. This process releases water molecule (H20) to form a bond called PEPTIDE bond between the amino acids. Several amino acids in their 100’s or 1000’s that are chemically joined this way forms a POLYPEPTIDE chain, which in turn forms the protein molecule.
