Osmosis is a process. It does not contain anything. This process is triggered by the unequal concentrations of water, i.e. if a solution with high concentration of salt in it is bordered with a solution with low concentration of salt (if a solution is water it can be considered as 100% water solution, if it is, for example, 5% sugar solution, it can be considered as 95% water solution). So, water molecules move to the side with lower water concentration.
Impertant: for only osmosis to happen, the wall between two solutions must be permeable only for water molecules. If it is also permeable for other substances they will also try to equalize their concentrations on the both side by move to the side where their concentration is less, and THIS IS CALLED diffusion.

Are simple sugar and amino acids needed for synthesis of larger molecules?
yes
What are amino acids that cannot be made by metabolism called?
Amino acids that cannot be made by metabolism are called essential amino acids. These amino acids must be obtained through diet.
What monomers make up protiens?
amino acid
What molecules form protiens when linked together with covalent bonds?
Amino acids are the molecules. Dipeptide bonds is the specific name for the covalent bonds.
Atomic building blocks of proteins?
according to my teacher, it's Amino Acids. :)
Which process are glucose and amino acids transported into cells?
osmosis
Nutrients like sugar amino acids and fatty acids are absorbed into the lining of the?
small intesine
Are amino acids the building block of sugar?
A better comparison would be that amino acids make up protein similarly to the way that sugar makes up starch. Fat is not composed only of sugars.
Proteins are made up of monomers called?
The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
Are simple sugar and amino acids needed for synthesis of larger molecules?
yes
Are there amino acids in nucleic acids?
No. Nucleic acids are formed by a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), a phosphate group and nitrogen base (purines and pyrimidines).
What repeating units make up a protein fatty acids peptide acids amino acids carboxylic acids?
They are the amino acids. They are the monomers
Proteins are formed of building blocks called?
Amino acids held together by peptide bonds.
Monomer of proteins?
Amino acids.
How many acids are their?
amino acids?? 20 amino acids
What are amino acids that cannot be made by metabolism called?
Amino acids that cannot be made by metabolism are called essential amino acids. These amino acids must be obtained through diet.
Proteins are polymers formed from?
Proteins are polymers made up of amino acids.
