High molecular mass organic compounds, which upon hydrolysis yield amino acids are called:
Correct answer: C. Proteins
- A. Carbohydrates
- B. Lipids
- C. Proteins
- D. DNA
Explanation
High molecular mass organic compounds that, upon hydrolysis, yield amino acids are called proteins.Proteins are macromolecules composed of amino acid monomers linked together by peptide bonds. They play essential roles in various biological processes, including enzyme catalysis, cell structure, immune responses, and more. When proteins undergo hydrolysis, the peptide bonds between amino acids are broken, and the resulting products are individual amino acids.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
