Answer: Proteins are built as chains of amino acids, which then fold into unique three-dimensional shapes. Proteins are compounds made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen and arranged as strands of amino acids.

Explanation: "Bonding within protein molecules helps stabilize their structure, and the final folded forms of proteins are well-adapted for their functions." Hope this helps ^-^

amino acids, which are small organic molecules that consist of an alpha (central) carbon atom linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable component called a side chain
