chemical structure of amino acids
How does the structure of a nucleic acid compare to the structure of a protein?
Both are smaller subunits; nucleic acids make up nucleotides and proteins make up amino acids.
Both are larger compounds; nucleic acids are made of nucleotides while proteins are made of amino acids.
Nucleic acids are larger compounds made of amino acids, while proteins are smaller subunits that make up amino acids.
Nucleic acids are smaller subunits that make of ribosomes, while proteins are larger compounds made of amino acids.
Which is true about the structure of starch molecules and protein molecules?
Starches and proteins are both polymers.
Starches and proteins are both amino acids.
Starches and proteins are both built from simple sugars.
Starches and proteins are both built from nucleic acids.
