Group of answer choices

They are made up of amino acids

They are made up of monosaccharides

They help build muscle and form our immune system

They are created in the mitochondria

They provide short term energy for cells

Answer 1

They are made of amino acids, they build muscle and form our immune system

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Amino acids, held together by peptide bonds, make proteins.

2. Monosaccharide means one sugar. That would be carbohydrates.

3. The way I remember this is as follows: You eat ribs to get muscle. Since proteins are made in the ribosome, I use “ribs” as a short form of ribosome. That also helps me remember 4. They are made in the ribosome. I hope that makes sense.

5. For short term energy, we use carbs.

Hope it helps :)
