Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins. Each amino acid has the same core structure, which consists of a central carbon atom, also known as the alpha () carbon, bonded to an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), and a hydrogen atom.
Detailed explanation-2: -Peptides are the long chains of amino acid residues that make up a protein subunit. Peptide chains can be divided up into functional regions, called domains, which may have particular structural or functional attributes.
Detailed explanation-3: -If three subunits must come together, the protein is said to be a trimer; four subunits make up a tetramer, and so on.
