Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
Solution:
Question Explanation:
The question asks which statements about proteins are correct.
Concept :
This question is based on Proteins, Amino acids, Peptide (amide) linkage, Biopolymer chemistry. Solution :
1. Proteins are high molecular mass complex biopolymers of amino acids present in all living cells → Correct. Proteins are indeed macromolecules made of amino acids.
2. Proteins are condensation polymers → Correct. Proteins are formed by condensation reactions between amino acids, with elimination of water.
3. It contains amide linkage → Correct. Peptide bonds (–CO–NH–) are amide linkages.
4. Protein on hydrolysis generally forms α-amino acids as monomer → Correct. Hydrolysis of proteins breaks peptide bonds to release α-amino acids.
Final Answer: Options (A), (B), (C) and (D)
