The Monomers of Protein Are

Question

The monomers of protein are
A) glucose.
B) fatty acids.
C) amino acids.
D) nucleotides.
E) nitrogen base.

Accepted Answer

The monomers of proteins are amino acids, which are organic compounds containing an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and a side chain group (-R). When amino acids are linked together through peptide bonds, they form polypeptide chains that eventually fold into functional proteins. Glucose is a monomer of carbohydrates, fatty acids are monomers of lipids, nucleotides are monomers of nucleic acids, and nitrogen bases are components of nucleotides.
