Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the monomer units of a protein?
A
Fatty Acid
B
Amino Acid
C
Nucleotide
D
Sugar
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins are biopolymers containing amino acids as their monomer units. Chemically speaking, proteins are the types of condensation polymers in which the monomeric units are the -amino acids. Proteins are formed by the covalent linkage of elements like nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -For example, proteins are composed of monomers called amino acids.

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

Detailed explanation-5: -Monomers of Protein Bonds 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.
