Question

Select the correct answer. Essential amino acids cannot be produced by the body, so they must come from our diet. We can get them from eating foods that contain which biomolecule? A. protein B. complex carbohydrate C. fats D. disaccharides

Answer 1

The answer is A. AMINO ACIDS because when you have a chain of amino acids then they go through multiple stages to become proteins. amino acids line up in single polypeptide chains and have a Alpha Helix sheet and a beta pleated sheet. The Alpha Helix sheet and the Beta Pleated sheet are still in tact when the polypeptide folds in on itself. The way these polypeptides stay folded together is by hydrogen and ionic bonds and sometimes the polypeptides might even have covalent bonds. This folding occurs through side chains ( R- Groups) with a combination   of many polypeptide chains. This later forms a single functional protein complex.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is A. protein. Proteins are key to making amino acids from what I understand.
