I think A too.

Amino Acids and Their Polymers

1. Side chain
2. Several amino acid sequence...)
3. Amino and Carboxyl
4. Speeds up bio....)

I agree

^^its correct

correct

Thankyou!!! ^^^

For the question "Which of the following explains why there are so many differences in the properties of peptides and proteins?" you have selected option A, which is correct.

To arrive at this answer, let's break down the options:

A) several amino acid sequences are possible for proteins and peptides
This is correct. Peptides and proteins are composed of different sequences of amino acids, and the arrangement of these amino acids can greatly influence their properties.

B) some proteins are enzymes while others are not
While this statement is true, it does not directly explain the differences in properties between peptides and proteins. Enzymes are a subset of proteins, and their function is not the main reason for differences in properties.

C) proteins and peptides include nitrogen
This statement is true, but it is a common characteristic shared by both peptides and proteins. It does not explain the differences in their properties.

D) amino acids form peptides and proteins
This is a factually correct statement, but it does not provide an explanation for the differences in properties between peptides and proteins.

Now, for the second question "What is the role of an enzyme?", you have selected option A, which is also correct.

To understand the role of an enzyme, let's analyze the given options:

A) speeds up biochemical reactions
This is the main role of enzymes. Enzymes act as catalysts, increasing the speed of biochemical reactions without being consumed in the process.

B) causes biochemical reactions
While enzymes do play a crucial role in facilitating biochemical reactions, they do not directly cause the reactions to occur. They simply lower the activation energy required for the reactions to take place.

C) is a product in biochemical reactions
Enzymes are not products in biochemical reactions. They are typically proteins that facilitate or control the conversion of substrates into products during a reaction.

D) provides extra heat for biochemical reactions
Enzymes do not provide heat for biochemical reactions. While some reactions may require heat, enzymes themselves do not generate or supply heat.

Therefore, your choice of option A for the role of an enzyme is correct. Enzymes speed up biochemical reactions.
