The monomer of a protein is a(n) ____
A
monosaccharides
B
lipids
C
nucleotides
D
amino acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins. Specifically, a protein is made up of one or more linear chains of amino acids, each of which is called a polypeptide.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are four main types of monomer, including sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, and nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-5: -The molecules are possible due to the presence of carbon and its tetra valence which enables these molecules to build chains of molecules giving rise to various forms of monomers such as amino acids, nucleotides and sugar monomers.
