Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What Are Proteins Made Of? The building blocks of proteins are amino acids, which are small organic molecules that consist of an alpha (central) carbon atom linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable component called a side chain (see below).

Detailed explanation-2: -Amino acids are organic compounds consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. They are monomers or building blocks of proteins. Proteins are one of the major biomolecules required for the proper functioning of living organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: The amino acids are the building blocks of the proteins. That work as the bricks of the building. The amino acids are joined to form a long chain of acids by amino and carboxyl and yields water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins are the building blocks of life. Every cell in the human body contains protein. The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids. You need protein in your diet to help your body repair cells and make new ones.

Detailed explanation-5: -A protein consists of one or more chains of amino acids (called polypeptides) whose sequence is encoded in a gene.
