no handwritten answers please.
Amino acids are building blocks of proteins and consist of carboxyl group, amino group, side chain group and hydrogen. Proteins are chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds (carboxyl group of one amino acid with the amino group of another amino acid) with a release of water molecule. Proteins are large complex molecules which play several important functions in our body like as enzymes, receptors, signaling molecules (hormones and neurotransmitters), antibodies, transport molecules etc.
