Nataly_w [17]3 years ago

They are composed of long chains of amino acids.

The building blocks of protein are amino acids. Amino acids are organic molecules made up an alpha (center) carbon atom which is linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom and  a variable component  known as a side chain.

Amino acids are joined to each other by peptide bonds  to form either a short chain called an oligopeptide or  a long chain called a polypeptide.  These chains are what forms the protein.

Which two natural resources will be most affected as people try to meet the growing demand for food?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

water and land

Explanation:

I assume this is an open-ended question, so you could make an argument for lots of things, but these are the two most important ones in my opinion. The amount of freshwater on Earth is pretty small, only about 2.5%, and most of that is locked in ice. As the demand for food grows, the demand for water for crops and livestock also grows. This is in addition to the increase in water that is needed for a growing population. Climate change increases this problem because of drought. The second most important resource that will be affected is land. If we need more food, we also need space to grow crops and raise livestock. The available space is also reduced because people need places to live and we need to be able to grow trees for wood to build houses and other buildings. I argue that land and water will be the most in-demand commodities as the population continues to increase.
