The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Amino Acids and Sugars:** - Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They can exist in different forms based on their chirality (the property of having distinct left and right forms). - Sugars, or carbohydrates, also have chirality and can exist in different forms. 2. **Identifying the Forms:** - There are two main forms of amino acids and sugars: L (levo) and D (dextro). - L-amino acids are those that rotate polarized light to the left, while D-sugars rotate polarized light to the right. 3. **Amino Acids in Living Organisms:** - In living organisms, particularly in humans, the amino acids that are used to form proteins are predominantly in the L-form. This means that proteins in the body are composed of L-amino acids. 4. **Sugars in Living Organisms:** - In contrast, the sugars that are found in living organisms, including humans, are primarily in the D-form. This means that the carbohydrates in the body are composed of D-sugars. 5. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that living organisms have L-amino acids and D-sugars. **Final Answer:** Living organisms have L-amino acids and D-sugars. ---
