The inability of an organism to produce certain
proteins can occur when an organism is lacking
an enzyme needed to combine
(1) oxygen molecules (3) amino acids
(2) simple sugars (4) biological catalysts

The answer is option  (3).

Amino acids are joined together to form proteins.

 Living organisms have enzymes which are capable of linking amino acids together by creating a peptide bond between the amino acids. This process takes place in the A and P site of ribosomes in the cell during translation.

One such enzyme is called peptidyl transferase. If an organism lacks such an enzyme,  synthesis of the proteins catalyzed by that particular enzyme in its cells will not take place. If amino acids cannot be joined together, then a polypeptide chain, which forms the primary structure of the protein will not be formed.

there are mainly three domains in biological classification namely; archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.

archaea includes all the prokaryotic cells which are characterized by their lipid membranes. they have branched hydrocarbon which is attached to glycerol through an ether linkage.

bacteria includes all the prokaryotic cells, the cell membrane of which are made up of the unbranched fatty acid chain. in addition, they are attached to glycerol through an ester bond.

eukarya includes all the eukaryotic cells, that is, the cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound cell organelles.

they can be autotrophic as well as heterotrophic, unicellular as well as multicellular

they include kingdoms like protista, plantae, animalia, fungi et cetera.
