What are the monomer units of a protein?
A
Fatty Acid
B
Amino Acid
C
Nucleotide
D
Sugar
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So we can call protein monomer names as amino acids. Every amino acid consists of hydrogen, amine, R group, and the carboxyl group. The bonds formed covalently between various amino acids during the formation of proteins are known as peptide bonds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins. Each amino acid has the same fundamental structure, which consists of a central carbon atom, also known as the alpha () carbon, bonded to an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), and to a hydrogen atom.

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

Detailed explanation-4: -Twenty amino acid monomers are used to build proteins, and they, as a group, each contain C, H, O, N, and two contain S. Each protein will have a different sequence of amino acids.
