The building blocks (or monomers) of proteins are ____
A
Amino Acids
B
Nucleic Acids
C
Monosaccharides
D
Glycerols
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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 monomers that make up proteins are called amino acids. There are around twenty different amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Think of amino acids as the individual beads on a necklace. There are 20 different kinds of amino acids, and the resulting protein depends on the number and sequence of the amino acids that are linked together.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
