the functions of amino acids includes: B. (neurotransmitters)C. (enzyme components) D. (metabolic intermediates) E. (hormones).

Explanation:

Amino acid is an organic compound that is made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen. They can exist in more than one form;

- as a bound form: they can combine into proteins or other substances by covalent linkage or by weak forces.

-as a free form : that is present in plasma as free unbound form.

Amino acid has the following functions;

- they aid in the transportation of neurotransmitters

- metabolic intermediates- most amino acids are converted to intermediates of the citric acid cycle or to pyruvate, which in turn can serve as precursors for gluconeogenesis.

- they are also the basic building blocks for enzymes and hormones.
