Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The basic building blocks (monomers) of proteins are:
A
nucleotides
B
monosaccharides
C
triglycerides
D
amino acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The monomers that make up proteins are called amino acids. There are around twenty different amino acids. The structure of the simplest amino acid. There are many amino acids but only about twenty different kinds are found in most proteins., glycine, is shown below.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The basic building block of a protein is called an amino acid. There are 20 amino acids in the proteins you eat and in the proteins within your body, and they link together to form large protein molecules. The variety of ways they mix and match allows for the great diversity of proteins in nature.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids, which are attached to one another in long chains. There are 20 different types of amino acids that can be combined to make a protein.
