Answer:

D

Explanation:

The building blocks or monomers of proteins are called amino acids. There are 20 different kinds of amino acids. The amino acids form long chains that are proteins. Therefore, proteins are polymers of amino acids.

Proteins are very important for the body because they have many different roles. They provide structure for tissues, act as enzymes, hormones and antibodies, aid in transportation and fluid regulation.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. a polymer of amino acids.

The mineral enargite is 48.41% cu, 19.02% as, and 32.57% s by mass. what is the empirical formula of enargite?
LuckyWell [14K]
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound. 
Assuming for 100 g of the compound 
                                Cu                                 As                             S
mass                      48.41 g                          19.02 g                      32.57 g
number of moles    48.41 / 63.5 g/mol      19.02 / 75 g/mol        32.57 / 32 g/mol 
                                = 0.762 mol                = 0.2536 mol            = 1.018 mol 
divide by the least number of moles 
                               0.762 / 0.2536             0.2536 / 0.2536         1.018 / 0.2536
                               = 3.00                          = 1.00                         = 4.01
once they are rounded off 
Cu - 3
As - 1
S - 4
therefore empirical formula is Cu₃AsS₄

What factors causes zinc to decrease and increase? Not the zinc in the human body.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Zinc deficiency affects the skin and gastrointestinal tract; brain and central nervous system, immune, skeletal, and reproductive systems. Zinc deficiency in humans is caused by reduced dietary intake, inadequate absorption, increased loss, or increased body system use. The most common cause is reduced dietary intake.

The density of a gaseous compound is 1.623 g/l at stp determine the molar mass of the compound
victus00 [196]
<span>The molar mass of the compound is 36.355 g/mol. This is calculated by knowing that 1 mol of gas fills 22.4 L of volume, so 1.623 g/L = X g/mol * 1/22.4 mol/L -> 1.623 g/L * 22.4 L/mol = X g/mol -> 36.355 g/mol = X g/mol</span>
