Question

Amino acid is to protein as..

a.fat is to lipid.
b.DNA is to RNA.
c.sugar is to fat.
d.simple sugar is to cellulose.

Answer 1

which one makes sense to you?

Answer 2

I was thinking b.DNA is to RNA.
But i think im wrong.

Answer 3

how are amino acids and proteins related?

Answer 4

Proteins are long chains of amino acids joined by peptide linkages

Answer 5

so out of these ones, which one is inked together to make large chains of those subunits?

Answer 6

So..DNA is to RNA?

Because they are both nucleic acids.

Regarding structure, DNA and RNA are similar because they are both built of nucleotides, structures consisting of one nucleobase, a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose respectively) and a phosphate group.

For both of them, their function is mainly containing information in the form of code, using 4 different bases. They both use adenine, cytosine and guanine. The fourth base differs, DNA uses thymine while RNA uses uracil.

Answer 7

what you said is true, but you're missing the point of the question, which is basically asking you to make a comparison and find the relation.

Amino acids are monomers of a polymer that is a protein.

DNA is a polymer of nucleotides, which is not one of the options.

The correct answer would be "simple sugars to cellulose" because simple sugars are monomers to a polymer, that is, cellulose (as well as starch and other complex carbohydrates).
