Answer;

- Proteins, nucleotides;

Amino acids are needed to build proteins just as nucleotides are needed to create DNA.

Step-by-step explanation;

-Amino acids bond together to make long chains. Those long chains of amino acids are also called proteins. Protein plays a crucial role in almost all biological processes and amino acids are the building blocks of it. A large proportion of our cells, muscles and tissue is made up of amino acids, meaning they carry out many important bodily functions, such as giving cells their structure.

-Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids; they are composed of three subunit molecules: a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and at least one phosphate group.
