The correct answers are "sugar" and "amino acids." We can find this answer within the name itself. The prefix "glyco-" relates to producing sugar (think glucose and glycogen, which are both forms of sugar), and the suffix "proteins" is exactly that: proteins (which are made up of amino acids). So, when we say glycoprotein, we can think "sugar-protein," which gives us our answer.
