Answer:
10
Explanation:
Proteins are polymers of amino acids. 20 different amino acids are present in various combinations in different proteins. Humans are incapable of synthesizing some amino acids. These are called the essential amino acids as they must be provided in the diet.
Histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine are the nine amino acids that are not synthesized in the body of adult humans and therefore, are categorized as essential ones. Arginine is a non-essential amino acid for adult humans but is essential for adult humans. Therefore, for an infant, more than 9 amino acids are essential ones.
A vast network of nerves sends electrical signals to and from other cells, glands, and muscles all over your body. These nerves receive information from the world around you. Then the nerves interpret the information and control your response.
A monomer can be defined as the molecule that is capable of binding in long chains. The monomers bind together to form different polymers by the process of polymerization.
The monomer of carbohydrate is monosacchride. The monomer of proteins is amino acid, and that of lipids is glycerol and fatty acids. These three macromolecules are wrongly paired in the question.
The monomer of nucleic acids is nucleotide. This is correctly matched.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option B - nucleic acids - nucleotides'.
