(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The general structural formula for an amino acid has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Amino acids to build proteins:

Amino acids are the basic functional units of proteins. Amino acids form peptide bonds between them and the large numbers of peptides form the protein. So, amino acids are the basic monomeric units of the proteins which are biopolymers.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The functional groups in the structural formula have to be named.

Concept Introduction:

Amino acids to build proteins:

Amino acids are the basic functional units of proteins. Amino acids form peptide bonds between them and the large numbers of peptides form the protein. So, amino acids are the basic monomeric units of the proteins which are biopolymers.
