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: -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: -The monomers that make up proteins are called amino acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Amino acids are protein’s building blocks. Your body needs 20 of them to help it function properly, as well as build and repair itself.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
