A
Proteins are made up of amino acids
B
Proteins are made up of monosaccharides
C
Proteins are made up of nucleotides
D
Proteins are large molecules and carbohydrates are not
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins differ from carbohydrates and lipids in that they always contain nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The difference between an amino acid and a carbohydrate is that amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, while carbohydrates are sugar and starch molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins differ from carbohydrates and lipids in that, they always contain nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -A protein molecule is made from a long chain of these amino acids, each linked to its neighbor through a covalent peptide bond (Figure 3-1). Proteins are therefore also known as polypeptides. Each type of protein has a unique sequence of amino acids, exactly the same from one molecule to the next.
