    1. The chemicals of life are made up of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. These elements are known as organic compounds and are composed of molecules like amino acids, fatty acids, and nucleotides. 2. Proteins are made from amino acids linked together in long chains that fold into specific shapes due to interactions between their parts. Their shapes allow them to function in different ways like transporting molecules or catalyzing chemical reactions. 3. DNA contains the genetic instructions that allow organisms to develop, live, and reproduce. Its sequence of nucleotide bases determines the sequence of amino acids in proteins.
