Detailed explanation-1: -Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins. Each amino acid has the same fundamental 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 to a hydrogen atom.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, proteins are composed of monomers called amino acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amino acids do not have single monomers. They are basic compounds bound to the same molecule, with an amino group and a group of carboxylic acids. Instead, amino acids are monomers of proteins, long chains of amino acids that are bound together by amide bonds.
