Proteins are also made of hundreds of small molecules that are joined together in a chain. Write down the name of these molecules.

HI ! @scarlettthecamel ! \(\color{red}{\large\text{Welcome to the Biology Section of OS!}}\) .

OpenStudy (scarlettthecamel):

Thanks lol I had to join this part because I'm now in my GCSE's and doing triple science and it's friggin hard

OpenStudy (shreehari499):

The proteins are basically made of amino acids..so we need to find the composition of Amino acids...So its made of a Amino group and a Carboxy group...so the ELEMENTS that are involved in it will surely be CARBON , OXYGEN and HYDROGEN..:)

OpenStudy (shreehari499):

They join together and form Amino group and Carboxy group which in turn form an amino acid...:)

OpenStudy (scarlettthecamel):

Ok :P

OpenStudy (abb0t):

The names of these molecules are called: \(\sf \color{blue}{amino~acids}\) or more specifically, \(\sf \color{red}{alpha}-amino~acids\)

OpenStudy (abb0t):

If you're being aksed to write down the name of all of these amino acids, just know that you should have a total of 20 amino acids. There are nonpolar, polar, basic, and acidic amino acids.

OpenStudy (scarlettthecamel):

I just need the name of the 3 molecules lel

OpenStudy (scarlettthecamel):

Google won't tell me so I am here now

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Well, there isn't ONLY three amino acids. Like i said, there are 20. But, if you want three, I will give you the 3 charged amino acids: lysine, histidine and asparagnine

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Correction, 20 \(naturally~occuring\)*

OpenStudy (scarlettthecamel):

So basically they are the molecules?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Carbon, Oxygen, and Nitrogen are what the question is probably looking for.
