Question
cellular processes are carried out by many different types of molecules, mostly proteins. the function of each protein molecule depends on its shape which, in turn, is determined by the protein’s specific sequence of ______.
amino acids
nucleotides
monosaccharides
triglycerides
Proteins are polymers made of amino acids. The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its structure (and thus function). Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids (like DNA/RNA), monosaccharides form carbohydrates, and triglycerides are a type of lipid. So the correct answer is amino acids.
