Correct answer: A. Protein
- A. Protein
- B. Carbohydrate
- C. Lipid
- D. Vitamins
Explanation
Proteins are large biomolecules composed of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. When a high molecular mass compound is hydrolyzed and the product is found to be an amino acid, it indicates that the compound was a protein. Proteins are essential for various biological processes and play a crucial role in the structure and function of cells and tissues.
