Answer & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: A — A–IV, B–I, C–II, D–III
Proteins have peptide bonds between amino acids. Unsaturated fatty acids contain C=C double bonds. Nucleic acids have phosphodiester bonds linking nucleotides. Polysaccharides have glycosidic bonds between sugar units. These are the characteristic chemical bonds defining each biomolecule class structure and properties.

Proteins are polypeptides. They are linear chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds
NTA tests whether students understand that proteins are polypeptides formed by linking amino acids through peptide bonds. Many students confuse peptide bonds with hydrogen bonds or ionic bonds, or forget that peptide bonds are covalent bonds specifically formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the next. The key point to remember: a peptide bond is a covalent bond created during a condensation reaction (dehydration synthesis) that connects the -COOH of one amino acid to the -NH₂ of another. This concept appeared in 2021, 2022, and 2023 NEET papers and tests both structure knowledge and understanding of chemical bonding in biomolecules.
