Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amino acids are the small building blocks that make up proteins. They contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Choice A (grams) is a unit of measurement and does not relate to proteins. Choice B (enzymes) are a type of protein that catalyzes chemical reactions, but not all proteins are enzymes. Choice C (lipoproteins) are a combination of lipids and proteins and are a type of protein that transport fats in the blood. However, lipoproteins do not represent the small building blocks that make up proteins.
