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: -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-3: -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.
