Question

All proteins on hydrolysis give:

• A. Enzymes
• B. \( \alpha \)-amino acids
• C. Glucose
• D. Polypeptides

Hint:

Proteins hydrolyze into amino acids, not sugars, because they are made from peptide bonds, not glycosidic bonds.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Proteins are polymers of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Upon hydrolysis, they break down into \( \alpha \)-amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.
