What is the composition of protein?

Question

And lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.

Im not quite sure how specific it needs to be, my teacher just handed it out on a worksheet and im not sure what to put.

Answer 1

Proteins are composed of amino acids.
Lipids are composed of fatty acids and glycerol.
Carbohydrates(polymers) are composed of monosaccharides.
Nucleic acids are composed of nucleotides,and each nucleotide is composed of a phosphate, pentose sugar( either deoxyribose or ribose) and a nitrogenous base( there are four nitrogenous bases for either DNA or RNA).

Answer 2

proteins: amino acids (carboxylic acid group, amine group, H, and R group around central carbon)
lipids: 3 fatty acid chains + glycerol
carbohydrates: hydrocarbon chains
nucleic acids: sugar-phosphate backbone and nitrogenous bases (A, C, G, T or U)

How specific do you need this to be?

Answer 3

Protein = amino acids.

Sorry.. didn't realize there were more..

Lipids = Fat.
Carbs = Sugar, Starch and Cellulose
Nucleic Acids = polynucleotides (individual nucleotides linked together; cytosine, adenine, guanine, thymine)

Answer 4

amino acids make up proteins. (chains of 10 or more)
fatty acids make up lipids
monosaccharides, disaccharides make up carbs
nucleotides make up nucleic acids

I hope this helps! Best of Luck!
