Explain how sugar molecules combine with other elements to create amino acids why is this an essential process for living things

Carbon has the ability to form very long chains of interconnecting C-C bonds. This property allows carbon to form the backbone of organic compounds, carbon-containing compounds, which are the basis of all known organic life.

Explanation:

The white stuff we know as sugar is sucrose, a molecule composed of 12 atoms of carbon, 22 atoms of hydrogen, and 11 atoms of oxygen (C12H22O11). Like all compounds made from these three elements, sugar is a carbohydrate.

Carbohydrates (also called saccharides) are molecular compounds made from just three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Monosaccharides (e.g. glucose) and disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) are relatively small molecules. They are often called sugars.

Sugar molecules are composed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms. Amino acids and other complex carbon-based molecules are composed largely of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms. ... Chemical reactions involve changes in the energies of the molecules involved in the reaction.

The sugar molecules thus formed contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen: their hydrocarbon backbones are used to make amino acids and other carbon-based molecules that can be assembled into larger molecules (such as proteins or DNA), used for example to form new cells.
