Answer:

Amino acids

Step-by-step explanation:

The building blocks of proteins are 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.

see animated videos to understand the structure of amino acids and how they bind to form proteins.
