Answer:

Amino acids

Explanation:

Proteins are among the most abundant organic molecules in living systems. Proteins as organic polymers are made up of simple subunits (monomers) called AMINO ACIDS.

A monomer is a small molecular subunit that can be combined with similar subunits to form larger molecules (polymers). Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins. A protein is made up of one or more linear chains of amino acid, each of which is called a polypeptide.

Each amino acid has the same basic structure, which consists of a central carbon atom, also known as the alpha (α) carbon, bonded to an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), and to a hydrogen atom. Every amino acid also has another atom or group of atoms bonded to the central atom known as the R group.

The carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the another amino acid combine to form a covalent bond, releasing a molecule of water in the process (dehydration). The resulting bond is called PEPTIDE bond. The products formed by these linkages are called peptides. As more amino acids join to this growing chain, the resulting chain is known as a polypeptide.

azamat

Answer:

Most likely diagnosis is Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), most likely caused by years of prolonged exposure to sunlight over time.

Explanation:

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is a common type of skin cancer that develops when the basal cells that is responsible for producing new skin cells when they die, become mutated and causes the basal cell to abnormally multiply rapidly and continues to grow. The accumulation of these abnormal cells is what results  in cancerous tumors that appears like ulcers on the skin. Prolong and intense exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight has been linked to the most likely cause for the mutation of the DNA in the basal cells which leads the abnormal cell growth and multiplication. People who expose themselves to the radiation of the sun for longer periods, over time, are at high risk of developing this cancer.
