Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur. The defining structure is a nitrogen attached to a carbon that is attached to another carbon that is double bound to an oxygen. The nitrogen side is called the Amino terminal, and the other side is called the carboxy terminal. What makes amino acids different is the R group that is attached to the first carbon I mentioned with the simplest being a hydrogen.

Proteins are made up of monomers called amino acids.
No. Proteins are made of amino acids.
No, carbohydrates are not made of amino acids. Carbohydrates are made of sugar molecules, while amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
Proteins are made of Amino Acids
Proteins are made up of smaller units called amino acids which are strung together to form proteins which can be of different sizes and shapes.
Amino acids
can the essential amino acids be made from glucose
Proteins are macromolecules made of amino acids. Amino acids are linked together in a specific sequence to form proteins, which are essential for many biological functions in the body. The order of amino acids in a protein determines its structure and function.
Enzymes are proteins so are made from amino acids.
PROTEIN is made up of chain of amino acids.
PROTEIN is made up of chain of amino acids.
Yes, amino acid molecules are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids that are linked together by peptide bonds. The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its structure and function.
