Answer:

Amino acids are organic compounds: meaning they contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. They are the building blocks, or monomers of proteins. They are made of a carboxyl group and an amino group. There is also a side chain, that is different for each of the 20 amino acids.  

Hope this helps! :)

The amazon rain forest is home tp huge numbers and wide varieties of plants. how does this benefit us
nika2105 [10]
Rain forests are huge carbon sinks, as plants and trees actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon in biomass. This is a vital ecosystem service for counteracting climate change. Forests regulate the climate, as evapotranspiration from forests influence precipitation patterns and the temperature. Many as yet underdiscovered plants may be of benefit to us as sources of useful products or drugs. Rain forests act as a refuge for vulnerable plant species, thereby protecting them from human over-exploitation and saving biodiversity for future human generations.
