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: -Answer and Explanation: Amino acids are the monomers of proteins. Amino acids are organic molecules that contain a carbon bound to four different groups. There is an amine group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a unique side chain bound to this central carbon, called the alpha carbon.
