All the statements given above are true and correct WITH THE EXCEPTION OF STATEMENT 3, which states that ' the building blocks of proteins are amino acids made up of carbon and nitrogen only. 
Protein are made up of molecules called amino acids. Each amino acid is made up of four basic different elements, which are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen. Some proteins are also composed of sulfur. All these elements occur naturally and they can be found in both plants and animal origins.
