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

Answer 1

most common amino sugars  are the 2-aminoaldohexoses, namely, D-glucosamine and D-galactosamine. The amino groups usually occur as the N-acetyl derivatives. Amino sugars are components of structural polysaccharides and of glycosphingolipids of membranes. This is important for biological functions within the body to maintain structure and stability, along with regulation within the body through various protein channels that allow K+, Ca2+, Na+, H+ to be regulated in metabolic pathways such as the electron transport chain.
