  CH3.NH3.O
  ..I……..I…..II
  CH—C—C—O
  ….I……I
  CH3..H
  What is the function of this on cells?
  (I = Single bond, II = double bond, — = single bond)
  NH3 is +ve and —O is -ve.
  (Please ignore the … on the diagram as it wouldnt work otherwise)

  Amino acids specifically, then? Can’t tell for sure from the diagram, but I’d guess that was meant to be Valine. There are twenty (or so) common amino acids. From there, think "protein."
