Respuesta :

The wrong statement is proteins are bonded together to form simple sugars because proteins are not carbohydrate and are made up of different  chemical bonds

Simple Sugars are also known as monosaccharides. They are the simplest form of sugar with the molecular formula of (CH20)n. They dissolve readily in water to form sweet tasting sugar solution. Based on the formula above their major chemical components are Carbon and Hydrogen and Oxygen. Examples are trioses, pentoses etc.

However, Protein are large macromolecule with a subunit called amino acids. The general molecular formula is NH2-C-COOH.That is a central carbon atom bonded on both sides to the amine group and a carboxylic acid  group.

Since simple sugars does not contain Nitrogen, but only C,H, and Oxygen, Proteins can not bond together to form simple sugars.

Besides, the bond in CHO ( simple sugar) is 1-4 glyosidic linkages. This is different from the peptide bond in amino acid. Therefore there is no way Protein can join or bonded to form simple sugars.
