DNA basically contains double helical chains comprising of a specific sequence of amino acids. The chains are attached by hydrogen bonds between complimentery bases: A-T, G-C That way, proteins appear to be simpler since they (usually) contain linear polypeptide chains with fewer cross links. But globular proteins can have a lot of cross linking through intermolecular forces between the polypeptide chains and therefore also have double helical structure like DNA. thus no comparision in this case. But fibrous proteins are much simpler. So unless you actually specify the particular protein under reference, the comparision would be indeed vague.
Scientists first believed that proteins carried genetic information, believing they were more structurally complex and diverse than DNA at the time. This idea was known as the "protein first" hypothesis and was later disproved when DNA was discovered to be the molecule responsible for carrying genetic information.
A infectious agent composed of a simple strand of RNA with no protein component is called a viroid. Viroids are smaller and simpler than viruses, consisting only of a short, circular RNA molecule. They can infect plants and disrupt their normal growth processes.
Prokaryotic cells are considered to be simpler than Eukaryotic cells because they have only a single, circular molecule of DNA. Prokaryotic cells do not have nuclei, and the DNA molecule is unconfined within the cell membrane.
Yes, starch molecules are generally larger than protein molecules. Starch is a polysaccharide made up of many glucose molecules linked together, while proteins are composed of amino acids linked in chains. This difference in molecular structure contributes to the varying sizes of the molecules.
In a way the question has no answer. Peptide bonds don't "look like" anything, because they're smaller than wavelengths of visible light. Structurally, they're formed when an amine reacts with a carboxylic acid. The amine group loses a hydrogen, the carboxylic acid group loses a hydroxyl ion, and the carbon and the nitrogen join. Unfortunately, it's not really feasible to draw the structure here, but any biochemistry book should provide examples.
The proteins molecules are bigger.
I assume you were expecting to include a list, but the answer is more than likely protein

Viruses are typically composed of RNA surrounded by a capsid (protein shell). This would mean by definition that the virus molecule, which is technically considered nonliving, is larger than a protein strand (because the capsid is made of protein).

Prokaryote is the smallest and simplest cells
Proteins are typically larger molecules than salts. Proteins are large biological molecules made up of long chains of amino acids, while salts are typically simple ionic compounds made up of positive and negative ions.
