What are the monomers for Proteins?
A
Nucleic Acids
B
Amino Acids
C
Monosaccarides
D
Nucleotides
Explanation: 

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: -There are four main types of monomer, including sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, and nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and have an amine group (−NH2), as well as a carboxyl group (−COOH) . When hundreds and thousands of them combine using peptide bonds, they form proteins, which are nutrients essential for survival. So, we can say that amino acids are monomers of proteins.
