Sugar molecules must undergo hydrolysis so they can react with nitrogen to form amino acids.
Sugar molecules must undergo hydrolysis so they can react with nitrogen to form amino acids.
Sugar molecules must be stored as fat to be later converted into amino acids.
Sugar molecules must be stored as fat to be later converted into amino acids.
Sugar molecules must be rearranged through metabolic pathways to form amino acids.

The correct response is: Sugar molecules must be rearranged through metabolic pathways to form amino acids.

This process involves various biochemical reactions where intermediates from sugar metabolism can be transformed into the building blocks (like amino acids) required for protein synthesis.
