3. (D) Proteins are polymers of amino acids 12. (D) Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of
called peptides. The elements C, N, H, O long chain fatty acids. When triglycerides
are present in all proteins while elements in fat/oil react with aqueous NaOH or
like S may or may not be present in a KOH, they are converted into soap and
protein. glycerol. This is called alkaline hydrolysis
4. (D) Polyester is a condensed polymer and it is of esters. Since this reaction leads to the
synthesized by terephthalic acid and formation of soap, it is called the
ethylene glycol monomers. Saponification process.
