Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -For example, proteins are composed of monomers called amino acids. They are linked together to form a polypeptide chain, which folds into a three dimensional (3D) structure to constitute a functional protein (Figure 1).
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: Amino acids are the building blocks (or monomers) of a polypeptide chain. The polypeptide chain then gets folded up into a 3D for that is called a protein. Amino acids bond together through an amide condensation reaction to form an Amide bond. This is called a peptide bond in biology.
Detailed explanation-3: -When connected together by a series of peptide bonds, amino acids form a polypeptide, another word for protein.
